Hondius, Jodocus; Goulart, Jacques
Chorographica Tabula Lacus
1609
Copperplate engraving; old coloured
Printed area: 54.5 x 37.5 cm; 21.4 x 14.7 in
A very rare print of the complete 'Tabula Chorographica lacus lemanni', authored by the Swiss theologian and cartographer, Jacques Goulart (1580-1622). A collection of portraits of the great reformers of the time is found below the map, featuring (from left) Johannes Calvin, Guillelmus Farellus, Petrus Viretus, Theodore de Bze, and Simon Goulart. The cartridge box in the lower-left corner remains unfilled. The view of Lake Geneva is shown from an unusual angle. Whilst an older map of the region exists, which makes use of the same orientation; neither the lake details nor the outlines of the landscape are comparable to Goulart's version.
From the Legendary Vladi Collection of Historical Maps which includes 280 examples of the finest quality antique maps brought to auction with proceeds benefiting MapAction, an organization that uses maps and technology to aid those in disaster-stricken areas. Each map is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the consignor.
