    Est: $350 - $425

    Southern China. Johannes Blaeu, Queicheu, Imperii Sinarum Provincia Decima Quarta, from Novus Atlas Sinensis, 1655 (published). Hand Color. This map of the mountainous Guizhou Province depicts key cities, including Guiyang, Zunyi and Tongren. A long road through the region is shown dotted with forts. The map is decorated with two fine cartouches featuring putti and Chinese men showing the native costume of the region. Blank verso. The second landmark in the European mapping of China was the appearance of the Novus Atlas Sinensis in 1655. It was compiled by Father Martino Martini, an Italian Jesuit, and produced by the most prominent Dutch cartographer of the time, Johannes Blaeu. Father Martini compiled the work based on Chinese sources between 1643 and 1650, and it greatly advanced European knowledge of the region including the astronomical positions of many cities and topographical features. It remained the standard geographical work on that country until the publication in 1737 of D'Anville's Atlas de la Chine. LITERATURE: Van der Krogt (Vol. II) #8434:2.

    Southern Scotland. Johannes Blaeu, Lidalia vel Lidisdalia Regio, Lidisdail. Auct. Timotheo Pont, from Sixieme Volume de la Geographie Blaviane, 1663 (circa). Hand Color. This beautifully engraved map covers the Liddell River valley on the border of Scotland and England. The map, based on the work of Timothy Pont, famous surveyor of Scotland in the late sixteenth century, includes great detail of the rivers, cities, villages, and castles, including Hermitage Castle, known as the "the guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain" and the "Strength of Liddesdale." The Scots' Dike is prominently shown (here labeled March Dyik). This important earthwork was constructed by the English and the Scots in the year 1552 to mark the division of the Debatable Lands and thereby settle the exact boundary between the Kingdoms of Scotland and England. French text on verso, published between 1663-67. Publication of Bleau's atlas of Scotland (Atlas Novus, Volume V) in 1654 was a landmark publication in cartographic history. Most of the maps were based on the surveys of Timothy Pont, which had been done half a century earlier. The publication took over seven decades to bring to publication; it was delayed by wars, copyright restrictions, and only intermittent official support. The maps are scarce today due to the relatively short publication history of the atlas. LITERATURE: Van der Krogt (Vol. II) #5816:2.

    Southern Scotland. Johannes Blaeu, Lidalia vel Lidisdalia Regio, Lidisdail. Auct. Timotheo Pont, from Sixieme Volume de la Geographie Blaviane, 1663 (circa). Hand Color. This beautifully engraved map covers the Liddell River valley on the border of Scotland and England. The map, based on the work of Timothy Pont, famous surveyor of Scotland in the late sixteenth century, includes great detail of the rivers, cities, villages, and castles, including Hermitage Castle, known as the "the guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain" and the "Strength of Liddesdale." The Scots' Dike is prominently shown (here labeled March Dyik). This important earthwork was constructed by the English and the Scots in the year 1552 to mark the division of the Debatable Lands and thereby settle the exact boundary between the Kingdoms of Scotland and England. French text on verso, published between 1663-67. Publication of Bleau’s atlas of Scotland (Atlas Novus, Volume V) in 1654 was a landmark publication in cartographic history. Most of the maps were based on the surveys of Timothy Pont, which had been done half a century earlier. The publication took over seven decades to bring to publication; it was delayed by wars, copyright restrictions, and only intermittent official support. The maps are scarce today due to the relatively short publication history of the atlas. LITERATURE: Van der Krogt (Vol. II) #5816:2.
