‎[ANTIGUA] A new and accurate map of the island of Antigua or Antego.‎

‎[Londres, 1747]. 320 x 230 mm.‎

‎Belle carte de l'île d'Antigua dans les Caraïbes, issue de l'atlas A complete System of geography, publié par le graveur et marchand britannique Emanuel Bowen en 1747. Cette carte détaillée a été dressée d'après les relevés et les observations astronomiques les plus récents. Elle figure les villes, les églises paroissiales, les forts, les châteaux, les moulins à vent, et les routes, mais aussi les plantations les plus remarquables, les sucreries selon le nombre de moulins (6, 3, 2 ou 1), et les moulins pour le bétail. Le long des côtes, également très détaillées en noms, sont signalés les rochers submergés. À droite du cartouche de titre figure un texte nous apprenant qu'Antigua n'a pas une seule source d'eau ; en période de sécheresse, lorsque tous les étangs sont à sec, et les citernes presque vides, les habitants doivent, en temps de guerre, aller chercher leur eau douce sur l'île de Montserrat (voisine d'Antigua), et en temps de paix, sur l'île de Montserrat, et sur l'île française voisine de la Guadeloupe. Antigua fut colonisée par les Britanniques en 1678. Bel exemplaire finement aquarellé. Tooley, Map Collectors' Series n°55, The Printed Maps of Antigua, 1689-1899, 20.‎

‎BRAUN & Franz HOGENBERG Georg‎

‎Antiqua Urbis Roma Imago Accuratissima‎

‎Grande pianta della città stampata su due fogli, ispirata alla celebre carta del Pirro Ligorio, tratta dal Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Questa straordinaria ricostruzione di Roma durante il regno di Augusto, arricchita da una cospicua legenda con 269 richiami, costituisce il lavorò più ambizioso contenuto nel Civitates Orbis Terrarum, del quale oltretutto è una delle sole tre mappe a doppio foglio.  L’opera è inserita nel Civitates Orbis Terrarum, il primo atlante devoto esclusivamente alle piante e vedute delle principali città del mondo. Il primo volume delle Civitates Orbis Terrarum fu pubblicato a Colonia nel 1572. Il sesto e ultimo volume apparve nel 1617. Questo grande atlante di città – cartografia urbana - curato da Georg Braun e inciso in gran parte da Franz Hogenberg, conteneva 546 prospettive, vedute a volo d'uccello e vedute cartografiche di città di tutto il mondo. Franz Hogenberg realizzò le tavole dei primi quattro volumi e Simon van den Neuwel (Novellanus, attivo dal 1580) quelle dei volumi V e VI. Georg Braun (1541-1622), un ecclesiastico di Colonia, fu il principale redattore dell'opera e fu molto aiutato nel suo progetto dalla vicinanza e dal continuo interesse di Abraham Ortelius, il cui Theatrum Orbis Terrarum del 1570 fu, come raccolta sistematica e completa di mappe di stile uniforme, il primo vero atlante. Le Civitates, in effetti, erano destinate ad accompagnare il Theatrum, come indicato dalla somiglianza dei titoli e dai riferimenti contemporanei sulla natura complementare delle due opere. Tuttavia, le Civitates erano progettate per avere un approccio più popolare, senza dubbio perché la novità di una raccolta di piante e vedute di città rappresentava un'impresa commerciale più rischiosa di un atlante mondiale, per il quale c'erano stati diversi precedenti di successo. Franz Hogenberg (1535-1590) era figlio di un incisore di Monaco che si era stabilito a Malines. Incise la maggior parte delle tavole del Theatrum di Ortelius e la maggior parte di quelle delle Civitates, e potrebbe essere anche indicato come il responsabile dell'origine del progetto. Oltre un centinaio di artisti e cartografi diversi, il più importante dei quali fu l'artista di Anversa Georg Hoefnagel (1542-1600), fornirono i disegni per le tavole delle Civitates. Hoefnagel non solo contribuì alla maggior parte del materiale originale per le città spagnole e italiane, ma rielaborò e modificò anche quello di altri collaboratori. Dopo la morte di Hoefnagel, il figlio Jakob continuò il lavoro per le Civitates. Gli autori della raccolta si proponevano di raffigurare "non icones et typi urbium", cioè non immagini generiche e tipizzate, "sed urbes ipsae admirabili caelaturae artificio, spectantium oculis subiectae appareant": non intendeva alludere o idealizzare, ma rappresentare fedelmente sulla carta, riprodurre esattamente, e in tempo reale, ciò che l'occhio vede, come annunciato nella prefazione al primo volume delle Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Incisione in rame, bella coloritura coeva, leggeri restauri perfettamente eseguiti per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. A good example, with fine original colour, of the Braun & Hogenberg Plan of Rome, first published in the 1588 edition of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum.Braun & Hogenberg's view is based upon the work of Pirro Ligorio. However, the title banner and lower key embellishments are completely revised, the former lacking the strapwork used by Braun & Hogenberg and replaced with a tapestry style fringe, while the lower key is now embellished with images of two nobles.Rome is shown from the west in a bird's-eye view that was a major achievement in its day. It includes the most important buildings from antiquity, several aqueducts, the Aurelian Wall and large arterial streets. The three figures in Roman garb in the foreground underscore the aim of meticulous reconstruction.Mont Testaccio is shown on the far side of the Tiber in the lower right-hand edge of the picture, with the Pyramid of Cestius above it to the right. At the center of the illustration the Marcellus Theatre can be identified above the island in the Tiber, with the vast Circus Maximus, used for chariot races, just above it to the right. Above that is the Palatine represented with intricately detailed buildings, an indication of the confusion at the time about how the seat of imperial power actually looked.To the north the Coliseum flanks the Palatine. In the lower left-hand part of the picture field is the Campus Martius, with the stadium of Domitian at the center, site of the modern Piazza Navona. Slightly higher up is the Pantheon with its monumental dome, looking as it does today. On the lower left edge the two great imperial mausoleums are shown as they would have appeared during the Roman epoch. Above the mausoleum of Augustus and below, at the bend in the river, is that of Hadrian.In the lower left-hand corner, the Mons Vaticanus with the Circus built by Caligua and a Neronian palace are recognizable outside the city. The baths of Diocletan dominate the northeastern part of the city. The Castra Praetoria, the barracks of the Praetorian Guard, is shown below the city walls in the upper left-hand corner. The work is included in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, the first atlas devoted exclusively to plans and views of the world's major cities. Printed in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 it was so successful and widespread that several editions translated into Latin, German and French were printed. The first volume of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum was published in Cologne in 1572. The sixth and the final volume appeared in 1617. This great city atlas, edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, eventually contained 546 prospects, bird-eye views and map views of cities from all over the world. Fransz Hogenberg produced the plates for the first four books, and Simon van den Neuwel (Novellanus, active since 1580) those for volumes V and VI. Georg Braun (1541-1622), a cleric of Cologne, was the principal editor of the work, and was greatly assisted in his project by the close, and continued interest of Abraham Ortelius, whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570 was, as a systematic and comprehensive collection of maps of uniform style, the first true atlas. The Civitates, indeed, was intended as a companion for the Theatrum, as indicated by the similarity in the titles and by contemporary references regarding the complementary nature of two works. Nevertheless, the Civitates was designs to be more popular in approach, no doubt because the novelty of a collection of city plans and views represented a more hazardous commercial undertaking than a world atlas, for which there had been a number of successful precedents. Franz Hogenberg (1535-1590) was the son of a Munich engraves who settled in Malines. He engraved most of the plates for Ortelius's Theatrum and the majority of those in the Civitates, and may have been responsible for originating the project.

Cette oeuvre monumentale qui renferme plus de 500 plans et vues de villes du monde entier, est considérée à ce jour comme la plus ambitieuse et la plus réussie de toute l'histoire de la cartographie. Le texte imprimé au dos de chaque planche fut compilé par Braun, alors chanoine de la cathédrale de Cologne, et les vues furent gravées par Hogenberg. Texte latin au verso. Petites taches d'encre rouge dans la marge inférieure. Exemplaire finement aquarellé à l'époque. Koeman, 1706.‎
