Carta geografica pittorica della Russia disegnata per l’Expo ’58, l’Esposizione Universale di Bruxelles che si tenne dal 17 aprile al 19 ottobre 1958. Fu la prima esposizione mondiale su larga scala del secondo dopoguerra. Una volta terminata la fiera, il padiglione sovietico fu smontato e riportato in Russia ad eccezione del modello dello Sputnik, che scomparve misteriosamente. La mappa descrive attraverso deliziose vignette sul territorio le risolse naturali e produttive della nazione. In alto a destra una poesia di Vladimir Vladimirovič Majakovskij

Out of stockA nice example of Gerard De Jode map of Austria extending from Lintz in the west to Gratz and Volkmarkt in the south, Bratislava and the Neusiedler See in the east. It presents a distorted picture of the course of the rivers Drau, Mur, Gurk and Lavant with numerous spurious lakes. Strapwork title cartouche, scale of miles with dividers, and a coat of arms adorn the sheet. Published in Amsterdam in 1593 by Cornelis De Jode.
Cornelis de Jode (1568-1600) was the son of the mapmaker and publisher Gerard de Jode. The elder published several important maps including Ortelius’ famous 8-sheet map of the world in 1564. His major atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum was a commercial failure because his rival, Abraham Ortelius, was able to obtain a monopoly for eight years at the same time De Jode was preparing the publication. After Gerard’s death, his widow and son enlarged the atlas and re-issued it in 1593. On the death of Cornelis, the copper plates were sold to J. B. Vrients, who acquired them merely to stop their re-issue, as he had also acquired the Ortelius plates.- Year: 1593
