calf with gold stamped borders. 750 —
An extraordinarily fine copy of Homann’s “Great Atlas” including many maps
not registered in the indices. All the maps in sharp impressions and in the
best state of preservation.
Collation: Vol. i: Frontisp. (J. Preissler del. 1762), engr. title, I 1. of index,
19 prel. 11., 4 tabulae descriptionis orbis and 153 maps.
Vol. II: Portr. (J. Kenckel pinx., J. W. Winter sc.), frontisp. (J. Preissler del. 1762),
engr. title (in Latin), 2 11. of index, printed title (in German), 9 prel. 11., tabula
descriptionis divisae Germaniae and 146 maps.
As appears from the date of Preissler’s address on the frontispieces (1762), the
present copy was made up at a somewhat later time than the years on the title-pages
indicate. Among the maps there are some executed by other cartographers such as
N. Vischer, C. Allard and Seutter, a few of them being dated 1772. Accordingly the
maps contained in the two volumes do not all exactly correspond with those mentioned
in the indices. 15 maps relating to Europe are thus missing and there are also a few
discrepancies with regard to the number of leaves of which some maps should be
composed. Yet this slight deficiency is entirely made up by the 23 additional
maps contained in our copy of which no mention is made in the indices.
The whole of the non-European maps are present, viz.: 21 maps relating
to Asia, 6 to Africa and 15 to America. Amongst them we should like to point
out the following: 1 map of the Philippines (1760) consisting of two leaves and
each one of New-Guinea (1748), Mississippi (without date), New England, and
the English Colonies in North America (4 small maps on one leaf). — Further-
more: English colonies on the American islands (5 maps), Central America
with a view of Mexico (1740), 2 maps of Canada (eastern and western part; 1755),
I map of Peru and Brazil, I map of Chile and Paraguay and 1 of the island
of Martinique (1762).
A large number of the maps are adorned with nice cartouches, views of cities, etc.
The state of preservation is an exceedingly good one such as it is rarely to be found
in works of this kind.
