Nova Totius Europae Tabula.
By de Jode, Cornelius (156801600)
Early and scarce map of Europe.- Antwerp, 1593.- copper engraved map; overall 42 x 55 cm; plate 33 x 45 cm. fold as issued; paper evenly toned with some some faint discolouration; some faint off-set; additional printer s creases; repaired split c fold; o/w exc. cond.- One of the most decorative and early map of the whole of Europe! The title is above the map with scroll work to either side. A large vignette with various figurines, depicting of the i nhabitants, is to the lower right of the map.Nice strong impression, with watermark; on verso Latin text. - Cornelius De Jode was the son of Gerard de Jode (1509-1591), a Dutch engraver, printer, printseller, publisher and cartographer. In 1578, he published an atlas Speculum Orbis Terrarum which was re-published by his son, Cornelius, in 1593.- Cornelius map of South America deviates from his father s map in as much as the title is no longer within the map as well as omitting two insets of smaller maps; some of the decorative elements have been omitted as well.- Maps both by father and son are very hard to come by as Speculum did not prove to be such a success as Ortelius atlases and the publication was very small.
