Iud: Hondio<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. Copper engraving by Jodocus Hondius, published in Amsterdam in <strong>1632<\/strong> (3rd state) by <strong>Jan Jansson<\/strong>. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 45,5 x 56,5 cm.<\/p>\n<p>This highly attractive map embraces all of Asia. The Middle East is very well formed, although the Caspian Sea has the egg-like form it maintained on maps until the 1730s. The Arabian Peninsula is well defined, based on Portuguese sources, and India takes its form after the maps of the Dutch adventurer, Jan Huygen van Linschoten (1596), which, in turn, borrowed from Portuguese sources.\u00a0 Southeast Asia and the Indonesian Archipelago are derived from charts made for the Dutch East India Company (the VOC), while China is derived from Jesuit sources, although Korea is an oddly elongated peninsula. The geography of the region would remain an enigma to Europeans until the early 18th Century.\u00a0 Japan&#8217;s Honshu and Kyushu are recognizable, although the area further to the northeast remains a vast mystery.<\/p>\n<p>True to the <em>carte \u00e0 figures&#8217;<\/em> style, which was the hallmark of the great contemporary period of Dutch Baroque cartography, the map is surrounded on four sides by registers of fine vignettes. Along the top of the map are views of Famagusta (Cyprus), Rhodes (Greece), Damascus, Jerusalem, Aden and Hormuz (Persia).\u00a0 Along the left side of the map are depictions of people in local costume including Syrians, Arabs, Armenians &amp; Persians, Indians, and Sumatrans.\u00a0 On the right side are depictions that include Javanese, Moluccans &amp; Bandans, Chinese, Russians and Tartars. Along the bottom of the map there are further town views of Dutch trading posts Goa (India), Calcutta (Bengal\/India), Kandy (Ceylon), Bantam, Gammalamme (Moluccas) and Macao. In addition the map is embellished by a fine title cartouche and ships and sea monsters in the seas.<\/p>\n<p>The map was originally conceived by Jodocus Hondius the Younger (1594-1629), whose eponymous father played a large part in the rise of Amsterdam as the dominant cartographic production centre in the 17th Century. The present edition of the map is by Jan Jansson (1588-1664), who married Jodocus the Younger&#8217;s sister Elizabeth.\u00a0 He transformed the Hondius firm into a powerhouse of geographical publications. Jansson most notably published the Atlas Novus (1638), and the Atlas Major (1660), the 11 volumes of which included a town atlas, a hydrographic atlas, an atlas of the ancient world, and Andreas Cellarius&#8217; incomparable celestial atlas.\u00a0 Jansson&#8217;s works were rivalled only by those of his arch-nemesis Joan Blaeu.<\/p>\n<p>The present map is one of the finest depictions of Asia from the apogee of Dutch cartography.<\/p>\n<p>This 3rd state of the map is the last one published with the bottom border, which was cut off later. According to Prof. Schilder in his <em>Monumenta Cartographica<\/em> (IV, map 23.3) only 3 other copies are known.<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE CARTE \u00c0 FIGURES MAP OF ASIA &#8220;Asia recens summa cura delineata Auct.
