Norimberga, (1742 ca.). Incisione in rame, colore d'epoca, cm 49,5 x 59,5 (alla lastra). Carta raffigurante la sfera armillare, con ai due lati, piu' in bs., sulla sn. il globo celeste e sulla ds. il globo terrestre. In bs. al centro una didascalia di sei righe che spiega che cosa sia e a che cosa serva la sfera artificiale. L'A. (Kammlach, 1663 - Nuremberg, 1724) fu incisore e venditore di mappe. Seguendo il lungo periodo di dominio olandese, la famiglia Homann divenne la piu' importante nella pubblicazione di mappe nella Germania del XVIII secolo. L'attivita' fu fondata a Norimberga, nel 1702, da J. B. Homann. Immediatamente dopo la pubblicazione del primo atlante, nel 1707, questi divenne membro dell'Accademia delle Scienze di Berlino e, nel 1715, venne nominato Geografo dell'Imperatore. Dopo la morte del fondatore, nel 1724, l'attivita' venne diretta dal figlio, fino al 1730, e venne successivamente trasmessa ai suoi eredi con il nome appunto di Eredi Homann. Infatti, l'attivita' continuo' la sua produzione fino al secolo successivo, esercitando grande influenza nel settore dell'editoria cartografica in Germania. Oltre agli atlanti (per citare solo i piu' importanti, tutti pubblicati a Norimberga: l'Atlas Novus Terrarum, 1702, 1704, 1707; edizione poi ampliata nel 1712 con ristampe fino al 1753; Neuer Atlas, 1707, 1714 ca.; con ristampe fino al 1730; Grosser Atlas 1716; poi ripreso nel 1731 e fino al 1737; Atlas Methodicus, 1719; Atlas Portatilis Coelestis, 1723; America Septentrionali Britannorm, 1730; ristampato fino al 1770 ca.; Atlas Compendiarus, 1750 ca.; Atlas Homannianus, 1762), gli Homann produssero anche un notevole numero di mappe individuali. Mentre la maggior parte dei programmi geografici degli Homann sono comparsi nell'Atlas Novus, i suoi programmi celesti, sono stati quasi tutti pubblicati postumi dagli Eredi e prodotti in collaborazione con il Doppelmeyer. Johann Halmer Doppelmeyer (1677-1750) astronomo, cartografo e geografo, fu professore di matematica a Norimberga. Il Doppelmeyer e gli Homann furono frequenti collaboratori nel produrre carte celesti e astronomiche per gli atlanti pubblicati dagli stessi Homann. Le due compilazioni principali degli impianti del Doppelmeyer sono state pubblicate da Heirs Homann: L'Atlas Coelestis in quo Mundus Spectabilis et in Eodem Stellarum Omnium Phoenomena Notabilia, pubblicato in 30 lastre nel 1742 e l'edizione modificata di questo Atlas nel Novus Coelestis., pubblicato nel 1748, con una piastra supplementare che descrive l'eclisse solare del 1748. Questo atlante celeste resta il piu' considerevole e da questo pensiamo possa essere tratta la presente carta. (cfr: Dekker, Elly e altri, Globi a Greenwich: Un catalogo dei globi e delle sfere Armillari nel Museo Marittimo Nazionale. Greenwich, Londra, Press dell'Universita' di Oxford e del Museo Marittimo Nazionale, 1999, p. 327; Tooley, R. V. Programmi e Programma Creatori. New York, 1949, p. 27); Van, Gent e Robert, Harry. L'atlante Coelestis (1742) di Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr). Esemplare non troppo brillante nella stampa, con piccoli restauri agli angoli superiori, peraltro in bella coloritura e, nell'insieme, in buono stato di conservazione. Bookseller reference : 875

unknown Nuremberg: Homann Heirs, 1778. Copper-engraved map, on two joined sheets, with original outline colour, in excellent condition. 34 1/8 x 25 inches. An especially fine copy of Homann Heirs' elegant edition of Sauthier's celebrated map of New York and New Jersey, made during the Revolutionary War The present map was printed by the esteemed Nuremberg firm, Homann Heirs, and is derivative of Claude Joseph Sauthier's greatest production, a large manuscript map of the provinces of New York and New Jersey which was first published on three sheets in 1776 by William Faden as A Map of the Province of New York. That map also included details taken from Bernard Ratzer's survey of New Jersey. Sauthier continued to improve this great manuscript during the first years of the Revolution, and in 1779 it was published, again by Faden, but on six sheets, as A Chorographical Map.... Although the two are usually viewed as different maps, they are clearly based on the same source (the aforementioned large manuscript), and the present map is a reduced version of this mapping sequence. The Sauthier map contains a vast amount of information lacking in earlier works, particularly in upstate New York, the Catskills, and Vermont. Sauthier stated that "the Mohawk Valley and County of Tryon are Laid down according to an Actual Survey and other Manuscripts generously communicated by Governor Pownall [the esteemed cartographer and former Massachusetts governor]." The result is an amazing record of New York and New Jersey from the Revolutionary War period. Alsatian by birth, Claude Joseph Sauthier accompanied Governor William Tryon to North Carolina in 1769. He surveyed several North Carolina towns and designed "Tryon's Palace" at New Bern before accompanying Tryon to New York in 1771. He subsequently conducted many surveys of New York, and during the revolution he served as a military engineer producing a number of fine maps for the British Army. A number of Sauthier's printed and manuscript maps, including an example of the present map, can be found in the collection formed by Sir Henry Clinton, Commander of the British Forces in North America, 1775-1782, now preserved at the William L. Clements Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This map was made by Germany's premier printer of cartographic works, originally founded by Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724). Homann had established himself in Nuremberg, and by 1715 was appointed Geographer to the Emperor, producing some of the finest maps and atlases of the age. After Homann's death, the prolific business was taken over by his son, Johann Christoph. From 1730, the firm was entrusted to a committee of family members, the Homann Heirs, who published maps and atlases for the next two generations, maintaining the high standards set by Johann Baptist.

Virginia Marylandia et Carolina in American Septentrionalie Britannorum unknown Nuremberg: Homann Heirs circa 1730. Copper-engraved map with full original colour. Good condition with small expert repairs to margins. 20 1/2 x 24 3/4 inches. A highly decorative and historically important map of Virginia and most of the east coast by an eminent German cartographer This very attractive map was devised as a propaganda tool to showcase Virginia as a land of plenty to prospective German immigrants. Homann first printed this map in 1714 including it in his Atlas Novus. That year Alexander Spotswood the Lt. Governor of Virginia founded Germanna a colony for German immigrants on the banks of the Rapidan River identified on the map as "Germantown / Teutsche Statt". English settlers had proven reticent to migrate to the colony's interior leaving it vulnerable to French and native encroachment. Spotswood hoped that a wave of German immigration would act as a protective bulwark for Virginia while also making him a fortune from related property speculation. While Virginia is geographically given the place of honour in the centre of the map the art of persuasion is principally conveyed by the large title cartouche occupying the lower right of the map. Surrounding an open scallop shell the iconography of Utopia is presented with blazing intensity. Natives shown as "noble savages" in the manner of Theodore De Bry offer their wares. Well-attired Europeans are shown enjoying a realm bursting with gold kegs of libations fish produce and exotic animals. An opportunity to experience such a paradise must have appealed to Homann's intended audience. Importantly while Virginia is the focus the map embraces a vast portion of the eastern seaboard from South Carolina to Connecticut and is geographically quite conservative save for the appearance of part of an impossibly large and misplaced Lake Erie in the upper left corner and the imaginary lake "Apalache Lacus" in the lower left. One of the most celebrated cartographers of his day Johann Baptist Homann established the most successful German publishing house of the eighteenth century. His prolific business which was inherited by his family after his death dominated Germany's map market for over a century and produced some of the finest maps and atlases of the age. He established himself in Nuremberg and by 1715 was appointed Geographer to the Emperor. After Homann's death the business was taken over by his son Johann Christoph. From 1730 the firm was entrusted to a committee of family members the Homann Heirs who published maps and atlases for the next two generations maintaining the high standards set by Johann Baptist.

unknown Nuremberg: Joh. Baptista Homann 1724. Copper-engraved map full period colouring wide margins. In excellent condition except for some small expertly repaired tears to the margins. 21 1/4 x 25 1/4 inches. An excellent copy of this fine map of New England by one of the greatest German 18th-century cartographers This very fine map in magnificent full original colour focuses on New England but embraces the entire territory from Philadelphia in the south up to the St. Lawrence Valley in the north. It depicts the region as it was considered before the British government commissioned advanced surveys of the subject. The geographic portrayal of the coast of New England is quite detailed and features extensive hydrological information of the coast. Curiously however Boston Harbor is shown to be dramatically larger than its actual appearance and Cape Cod is shown to be an island. In the interior Lake Champlain is depicted to be dramatically east of its true location and New York's Lake Seneca is creatively shown to be a massive sea that drains into the Hudson Valley. To the north the portrayal of New France is equally fanciful as "Mont Royal" Island the site of Montreal takes on a massive attenuated form immediately adjacent to Lake Ontario. True to Homann's artistic signature the map features a finely-engraved cartouche in the lower right corner that depicts American scenes of commerce and nature.

unknown Nuremberg: J. B. Homann, [c. 1730]. Engraving with hand-colouring. Excellent condition apart from two small spots in the Indian Ocean. 19 1/2 x 22 5/8 inches. 21 x 23 3/4 inches. An early map of Asia that includes the northern tip of Australia and Papua, New Guinea, by the celebrated German cartographer, J. B. Homann. Johann Baptiste Homann established in the early years of the 18th century the most successful map publishing firm in Germany. His prolific business, which his family continued after his death, dominated Germany's map market for over a century, and produced some of the finest maps and atlases of the age. He started the firm in Nuremberg, and by 1715 he was appointed Geographer to the Emperor. This lovely example of Homann's first map of Asia. It includes the northern tip of Australia (Nova Hollandia) Carpentaria, Nova Britannia and the Marianas. Hokkaido is identified as Terra Yedso and the fictional Compagnie Land, to the northeast of Japan. Dampier's passage shown stretching between New Guinea and New Britain and marks his discovery of New Britain in 1700. The map is a wonderful example of Homann's ornate, Baroque style. The title cartouche shows an Asian potentate pointing his scepter at three subjects, who bow on their hands and knees before him. The other cartouche in the upper right corner with a note to the viewer shows a procession of soldiers carrying a Hindu idol, followed by men playing gongs, drums and wind instruments.

unknown Nuremberg: Homann c. 1725. Engraved with period hand-colouring. 19 1/2 x 22 1/2 inches. 20 5/8 x 23 1/4 inches. A beautiful sharp impression of a work that is both a map and a tribute to the young Dutch Republic Johann Baptist Homann the leading German cartographer of the early 18th century derived his style from the great Dutch mapmakers of thr previous century adding a Baroque flair as demonstrated in this excellent map of the Dutch Republic and its colonies. Homann's admiration is most clearly shown in the cartouche in which the title is supported by mermaids and attended by putti bearing the Dutch Lion and a caduceus here symbolising commerce and possibly peace the Romans used it as a symbol of truce. Neptune himself stands to the left and points approvingly at the words "Batavorum Reipublic!". Flanking the exuberant cartouche are maps of the Dutch spheres of influence: the New Netherlands with an oval view of Manhattan and the East Indies with an oval view of Batavia on Java. In point of fact the Dutch no longer ruled New Amsterdam though they remained a strong element in the life of the city and along the Hudson River. The main topic of the map is of course the United Provinces themselves here handsomely delineated and printed with period hand-colouring. The inset in the lower right is the southern continuation of Geldria. All in all this is an exceptionally good example of Homann's work and a fine celebration of Holland. ISBN : 0

[The World] Planiglobii Terrestris cum utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti Generalis Repraesentatio unknown Nuremberg: Homann, circa 1716. Copper-engraved map, with original outline colour, printed on laid paper, in excellent condition. 20 15/16 x 24 1/8 inches. This beautiful double hemisphere map of the world is considered one of Homann's most splendid maps. One of the most celebrated cartographers of his day, Johann Baptist Homann established the most successful German publishing house of the eighteenth century. His prolific business, which was inherited by his family after his death, dominated Germany's map market for over a century, and produced some of the finest maps and atlases of the age. He established himself in Nuremberg, and by 1715 was appointed Geographer to the Emperor. This is a stunning double hemisphere, which literally swirls with activity. The world is shown in two hemisphere with a double hemisphere representation of the celestial world as construed in Classical astronomy above and below. Outside of these circles are many unusual things. At top is a representation of the heavens with the stars, Sun and Moon, angels and the disembodied heads that provide the winds on Earth. At bottom are representations of unusual phenomena: a volcano erupting, an earthquake, waterspouts, a whirlpool, and a rainbow. The world map itself, which is derived, according to the title, from Dutch and French maps, includes the trade winds and the routes of several important explorations: Magellan's, Tasman's, and William Dampier's, among others. Recent discoveries in Australia and New Zealand are indicated. In North America, California is an island and the amorphous "Terra Esonis" extends to the west from where Vancouver would eventually be toward Japan. This appears to be the second edition of this map which Homann republished a number of times with an altered title and dedication.This fascinating impression includes a colour key at the bottom of the map to the colours in the map that denote the dominant religions in various regions around the world.

[The Lunar Hemispheres] Tabula Selenographica unknown Nuremberg: Johann Baptiste Homann, circa 1730. Copper-engraved lunar map, with full original colour, printed on laid paper, collectors stamp on verso of sheet, title in manuscript ink on verso, center fold strengthened, some expert repairs, including a tear on left margin extending into plate, overall in good condition. 20 x 24 inches. This magnificent chart by Doppelmayr, is one of the earliest and most famous lunar maps. Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677-1750) was a German astronomer and mathematician who collaborated with Johann Baptiste Homann (1663-1724) for over twenty years. Together they produced some of the finest celestial maps and globes of the age, which contained a wealth of new astronomical information. First published in Homann's Neuer Atlas in 1707, this important map is one of the earliest charts to depict the moon's surface. The map shows two systems of lunar cartography, laid out side by side as a double hemisphere. On the left is the system developed by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1611-87), who published the first lunar atlas in 1647. Hevelius believed that there was a direct link between the geography of the Earth and the Moon, and he named many lunar features after countries and oceans found on Earth. The lunar picture on the right illustrates the cartographic theories developed by Giovanni Riccioli (159801671) who published his first lunar map in 1651. Riccioli, an Italian Jesuit scholar, named the lunar features after celebrated people and scientists. Thus Hevelius's Aetna becomes the crater Copernicus, and his Mount Sinai becomes Tycho. For over a century and a half, Hevelius and Riccioli's theories competed with each other. At a loss to distinguish between the models, atlases often included both systems depicting both theories of lunar cartography. Although Hevelius's model was extremely popular, Riccioli's simpler nomenclature eventually gained widespread acceptance and is for the most part still used today.

Homann, one of the leading mapmakers of his time, a man who succeeded in becoming both geographer to the Holy Roman Emperor and a member of the Prussian Royal Academy of Science. The cartouche is simple and elegant with the fleur-de-lys beneath a crown and a banner with the title supported by cherubs. The map extends from Chantilly in the north to Fontainebleu in the southeast. Bookseller reference : 12702 ISBN : 0

unknown Nuremberg: J. B. Homann, [circa 1720]. Copper-engraved map, with full original colour, in excellent condition. 19 5/8 x 22 3/4 inches. The first state of one of the finest maps of America and the Caribbean produced in the early-seventeenth century, by the leading German cartographer This highly decorative and elegantly engraved map represents one of the finest depictions of America and the West Indies printed in the first half of the seventeenth-century. This is the rare first state of Homann's map based on Guillaume De L'Isle's 1703 map of the same subject. It includes a geographically advanced depiction of the Mississippi River and its tributaries from the finest French sources. The portrayal of New Mexico and the Rio Grande valley is also well defined, based on maps supplied by the Spanish governor of the region who defected to the French court. Numerous forts and native villages dot the interior of the continent. The Spanish empire in Mexico and Central America is depicted in great detail, leading all the way down to the Spanish Main. The vast wealth in precious metals that were derived from this empire is epitomised by the exquisite rendering, on the right of the map, of the Cerro Rico in PotosÃ, Bolivia, that represented the greatest silver mine in world. In this vein, the routes of the Spanish treasure galleons from Veracruz and Cartagena to Havana, and from there in to the Atlantic on the way to Seville are traced on the map. The chain of islands in the Caribbean, then controlled by multiple European hegemons, is elegantly depicted. With reference to the eastern seaboard of America, all of the British colonies are defined in great detail, and especially with regards to Carolina which is shown to be divided into several counties. The interior of the American South features a mythical lake, which is shown to be the source for an elongated Appalachicola River. The map is further adorned in the Pacific by a galleon and a naval battle scene, and an artistically virtuous cartouche graces the upper left corner.
