LETH, HENDRICK & ANDRIES DE.
Carte Nouvelle de la Mer du Sud dressée par ordre des principaux directeurs, & tirée des memoires les plus recents et des relations des navigateurs les plus modernes, tant de France que d' Espagne l'on ya joint, diverses remarques curieuses par raport aux decouvertes des graduations de manierres du pais que de la navigation.
Amsterdam, Hendrick & Andries de Leth, (ca. 1730).Two folio sheets joined, contemporary hand-coloured. Engraved map of the Southern Hemisphere, with six fine insets of plans of important port cities including Veracruz, Rio de Janeiro, , Havana, Porto Bello and Isthmus of Panama, and exceptionally fine vignettes of a sugar mill, Mexico City, and the Cape of Good Hope. Ca. 59,5 x 93,5 cm.This elaborately engraved map, one of de Leth's foremost works, is based in part on de Fer's 1713 wall map. This is the third issue, with the inset city plans replacing a vignette of Niagara Falls and the publisher's imprint below the title. Hendrick de Leth began his cartographic career working for the foremost family printing company in 17th and 18th-century Amsterdam, the Visscher firm. Encompassing much of the world, including all of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it includes a wealth of geographical, historical, practical and anecdotal information, including commercial sea routes and the paths of famous explorers like Magellan, as well as inset plans of important port cities. The beautifully engraved vignettes include a spectacular view of the Dutch trading port at the Cape of Good Hope, set within an elaborate border decorated with monkeys and wild cats, and on top a plan of the fort. A plan of Mexico City is surrounded by scenes of native life and the Spanish Conquest of the native Aztecs, as well as images of the Temple of the sun and an underground mining operation. This is a magnificent large scale map of the world by one of the last prominent mapmakers from the golden age of Dutch cartography. - A handsome separately issued map centered on America, with California as an island. - Extremely rare.McLaughlin 220; Norwich 320; Tooley, America, 94; Tooley (MCC-23) 75.

This art wasn't partisan, it was a grim observation of man's potential inhumanity to man; of the true barbarities of war." (Phaidon.com).

The spelling of the name referred to the initial letters of Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam--the native cities of the founding artists, who included Karel Appel, Constant, Asger Jorn, Christian Dutremont, Corneille and Joseph Noiret, all of whom were already established artists. The Cobra artists shared a doctrine of complete freedom of color and form and an interest in Marxism, Modernism and Surrealism. They were more interested in the processes of art than in the final product. The group officially disbanded in 1951, but many of the members remained close friends and continued to collaborate with one another.<p>Rare. Very good .
