Blaeu map of North & South America
Heading:
Author: Blaeu, Willem
Title: Americae Nova Tabula
Place Published: Amsterdam
Publisher:
Date Published: c.1633
Description:
Copper-engraved map. 36x46.5 (14¼x18¼"), affixed to matte with cloth tape around edges.
Uncommon issue of Blaeu's important map of North and South America. This is without the engraved figures at the top and sides, and apparently is from Van Meteren's Wahrafftige Beschreibung aller Denkwurdigsten Geschichten, with old folds. There are numerous sailing ships and sea monsters in the oceans, an inset of Greenland and Iceland at the top, and other captivating features. This is State 3 of the map, according to Burden, with the name in the title cartouche changed from "Guiljel: Jansonnio" to "Guiljelmo Blaeuw" and the sea not re-engraved in the mentioned places. Because of the matting, we are not able to determine if there is text on the verso. See Burden 189.
Condition Report: Some even soiling, a bit of rubbing along lower edge affecting west side of Tierra del Fuego; very good.
