Africae nova tabula Auct. J. Hondio New map of Africa designed by J Hondius
1673. Jan Evertsz Cloppenburg (Publisher) Pieter vd Keere engraved the map [1630] 1673 Introductio in universam geographiam Amsterdam; Johannes Janssonius van Wesberge, 1673 [1630] This small map (25cm x 18.5cm) was engraved by Pieter van den Keere (AKA Petrus Kaerius) and is in the 1st state. It seems to be based on the 1617 map by Willem Blaeu's 1617 and the Jodocus Hondius II maps of 1619 & 1623; The map was used in a number of publications, originally in Atlas Minor (Mercator / Hondius) - with the number 11 at the top right. The features of no page number, no signature and no print above the map are consistent with its publication in the 1673 Atlas Minor. "The Cloppenburch (i.e. Jan Evertz Clobbenburg) version of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas Minor (i.e. this map) was only published in 1630, 1632, and 1636. Cloppenburch was either forced out of business or Johannes Janssonius bought his copperplates, as the plates later appeared in a 1673 edition of Atlas Minor by Johannes Janssonius van Waesberge, the son-in-law of Janssonius. A second edition of this atlas appeared in 1676 in Dutch and Latin. This map also appeared in 1676 in an edition of Phillip Clüver's Introductionis in Universam Geographicam." (Betz's Mapping of Africa # 65) This outline coloured map is in very good condition. There is age-toning (paper oxidation) outside the plate line (especially at the top and on the right) caused by prior mounting non non-archival boards., some chipping to the top edges, Acid free tape strips on the top back from previous mounting. Small 2mm hole of the west coast of Southern Africa between the coast and the illustrated boat 250 by 185mm (9¾ by 7¼ inches). Item #31995
