Hochstrasser, Monique
The Art of the Regent
102 pages. A sumptuously presented selection of the art collection displayed in The Regent in Hong Kong. This is a collection carefully acquired not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for the elements of oriental symbolism that are represented. Includes fine examples of skilfully executed screens, lacquerware and embroidery. There are specimens of Chinese export wallpaper, and several nineteenth-century China Trade oil paintings. These became popular as artistic records of the cultural and trading contacts of their period and are now collector's items. The selection of maps traces the pattern of adventure and romantic trade and travel over the centuries. Finally, a group of contemporary works pleasantly relate the collection to modern artistic trends. All illustrations in vivid colour photography. Attractive maroon cloth boards bear imprint of Chinese characters upon front board and gilt roman lettering upon spine. Illustrated slipcase shows light edgewear and several nicks. Book and slipcase bear the aroma of moth balls. Book

HOMANN Eredi Johannes Baptiste (1730 - 1813)
Neue Welt Karte
Carta geografica de l mondo inserita nell'atlante degli eredi della tipografia Homann. Dal punto di vista cartografico la mappa presenta diverse innovazioni ed aggiornamenti, soprattutto nel Pacifico dove sono mostrate le scoperte di Cook del 1770. I Grandi Laghi si presentano come un unico enorme specchio d'acqua e la California ha una forma strana, con la Baja che sembra quasi un'isola. L'Australia comprende diversi toponimi sulla costa orientale, frutto delle scoperte di Cook nel 1770. Tuttavia, l'isola di Van Diemens è ancora mostrata collegata alla terraferma. Sono disegnate le rotte di diverse esplorazioni della fine del XVIII secolo. Johann Baptist Homann è stato un geografo e cartografo tedesco; nel 1702 fondò la sua casa editrice. Homann acquisì fama come uno dei principali cartografi tedeschi, e nel 1715 fu nominato geografo imperiale dall'imperatore Carlo VI. Nello stesso anno fu anche nominato membro dell'Accademia Prussiana delle Scienze a Berlino. Nel 1716 Homann pubblicò il suo capolavoro Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt. Numerose mappe furono redatte in collaborazione con l'incisore Christoph Weigel. Homann morì a Norimberga nel 1724. Gli successe suo figlio Johann Christoph (1703-1730). L'azienda continuò dopo la sua morte come azienda degli eredi Homann, gestita da Johann Michael Franz e Johann Georg Ebersberger. Dopo successivi cambiamenti nella gestione, l'azienda si sciolse nel 1852. Incisione in rame, finemente colorata a mano, in ottimo stato di conservazione. This interesting world map presents some curious cartography, given the date of the map. The Great Lakes are shown as one huge body of water and California is strangely shaped with the Baja nearly appearing as an island. Australia includes several place names on the eastern coast, which resulted from Cook's discoveries in 1770. However, Van Diemens Land is still shown connected to the mainland. The tracks of several late 18th century expeditions are shown. Color key and German text panel below the hemispheres. Johann Baptist Homann was a German geographer and cartographer; in 1702 he founded his own publishing house. Homann acquired renown as a leading German cartographer, and in 1715 was appointed Imperial Geographer by Emperor Charles VI. In the same year he was also named a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1716 Homann published his masterpiece Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt; numerous maps were drawn up in cooperation with the engraver Christoph Weigel the Elder. Homann died in Nuremberg in 1724 and was succeeded by his son Johann Christoph (1703-1730). The company carried on upon his death as Homann heirs company, managed by Johann Michael Franz and Johann Georg Ebersberger. After subsequent changes in management the company folded in 1852. Etching with fine later hand colour, very good condition.
