WAGHENAER Lucas Janszoon (1533 – 1606 circa)
Universe Europe maritime eiusque navigationis descriptio
Universe Europe maritime eiusque navigationis descriptio = Generale Paschaerte van Europa, soe verre die Zeecusten ende Navigatien streckende zÿn. Gepractizeert Doer Lucas Jansz, Wagenaer va Enchusè. Met Privilegie tot 10. Iaren. 1.5.83. Acquaforte e bulino, 395x555 mm, firmata e datata in lastra in basso a destra Joannes à Doetecum. F.Dall'edizione tedesca dello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt. Terza edizione della carta, con la traduzione del nome di alcuni mari in latino, inserita nello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt a partire dal 1586.Magnifica prova, con piccoli restauri nei margini che interessano anche il bordo graduato, nel complesso in eccellente stato di conservazione.Carta nautica del Mediterraneo occidentale, estesa alle Isole Britanniche e all’Islanda, di Lucas Jansz. Waghenaer. Impreziosita da rose dei venti, mostri marini, velieri e stemmi araldici, la carta è inclusa nello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt di Waghenaer ed è caratterizzata dalla curiosa rappresentazione circolare dell’Islanda, che sarebbe stata rivista e corretta nella successiva versione. La tavola è conosciuta in tre diversi stati: il primo - avanti le aggiunte delle traduzioni in latino nel nome di alcuni dei mari e delle iscrizioni nelle barre della scala metrica - apparve solo nelle prime tre edizioni dello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt, pubblicate a Leida da Christophe Plantin nel 1583, 1584 e 1585; il secondo stato della lastra vede aggiunta l’isola di Rockall, un piccolo scoglio dell’Atlantico a ovest della Scozia, che viene rappresentato, senza il toponimo, a destra del vascello. Secondo Schilder questo stato della carta non sarebbe inserito in nessuna delle edizioni dello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt, ma sarebbe stato venduto separatamente a Leida da Van Raphelingen per la tipografia Plantin intorno al 1586. Il terzo stato della carta, pubblicato per la prima volta nella traduzione latina dello Spieghel der Zeevaerdt - stampata con il titolo di Speculum nauticum nel 1586 - vede alcuni nomi dei mari e delle scale grafiche tradotti per il mercato sud-europeo. Ad esempio, sotto al toponimo Midtlantse Zee, ad ovest della Sardegna, si legge, in piccolo, Mare Mediterraneum.Lo Spieghel di Waghenaer fu il primo atlante nautico a stampa; di conseguenza questa carta nautica dell’Europa e dell’Atlantico occidentale è la prima carta nautica stampata della regione. La data 1583 è incisa in piccolo riquadro sotto il cartiglio con il titolo; tuttavia, è possibile che Waghenaer avesse già realizzato questo carta portolano nel 1579, per venderla separatamente come strumento di navigazione. Incisa da Joannes van Doetecum la carta è impreziosita da numerose rappresentazioni di navi e ricoperta di linee direzionali che si irradiano da rose dei venti, decorazioni tipiche delle carte nautiche manoscritte, senza dubbio fonti cartografiche per questa mappa. I nomi dei luoghi vengono scritti continuamente verso l’interno intorno alla costa, da nord a sud, al fine di facilitarne la lettura al navigatore attraverso la ruotazione della mappa. Nella parte terrestre della tavola troviamo gli stemmi dei vari Paesi europei. La raffinatezza dello stile incisorio di Joannes van Doetecum è molto evidente in questa mappa. Joannes, insieme al fratello Lucas, proveniva da una famiglia di incisori originaria di Deventer, attiva ad Anversa, Haarlem e Amsterdam nella seconda metà del XVI secolo. Oltre alle mappe dello Spieghel, i fratelli Doetecum sono autori delle più belle carte pubblicate da Hieronymus Cock, Gerard de Jode e Abraham Ortelius. Una curiosità cartografica dell’opera è la presenza, a ovest delle coste irlandesi, della piccola isola del Brasile, o Hy Brasil, rappresentata nella consueta forma circolare con un fiume che la taglia in due. L’isola - qui denominata Brasiil – appartiene alla mitologia irlandese: coperta da un costante velo di nebbia, si dice che appaia per un giorno ogni sette anni. L’isola leggendaria apparve per la prima volta in una mappa di An... Universe Europe maritime eiusque navigationis descriptio = Generale Paschaerte van Europa, soe verre die Zeecusten ende Navigatien streckende zÿn. Gepractizeert Doer Lucas Jansz, Wagenaer va Enchusè. Met Privilegie tot 10. Iaren. 1.5.83. Etching with engraving, signed at lower right Joannes à Doetecum. F. From the German edition of the Spieghel der Zeevaerdt.A fine impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, small restorations in the margins that also affect the graduated edge, overall in excellent condition.Third state of Waghenaer's map of Europe, the British Isles, Iceland, and the western Mediterranean, including the Rockall Island and the Latin translation of some of the Sea’s names. Richly embellished with compass roses, sea monsters, sailing ships, coats of arms and rhumb lines, the chart appeared in an early edition of Waghenaer's Speigel der Zeevaerdt and is characterized by the curious circular representation of Iceland, which was revised in later reprints. Waghenaer's Spiegel was the first engraved sea atlas, making this sea chart of Europe and the Western Atlantic the earliest printed sea chart of the region. Because this chart was significantly larger than the others in the atlas, it rarely appears on the market in good condition. The fine engraving work of Joannes Doetecum is very much in evidence on this map. Doetcum came from a family of printmakers from Deventer, although Joannes and his brother Lucas moved to Antwerp. They engraved not only the maps in theS peigel, but also maps for Hieronymus Cock, Gerard de Jode, and Abraham Ortelius.Lucas Jansz Waghenaer (c. 1533–1606) was a navigator and the author of the ‘Spieghel der zeevaerdt’, the first pilot guide. He spent his early career as a naval officer between 1550 and 1579, interacting with other sailors and gaining vital experience for his later work. He then worked as a duties collector in Enkhuizen, before beginning to work on a project to combine accurate sailing directions with detailed maps. Sailors at the time generally relied on small books called rutters, which were often handwritten, or featured crude woodcut maps. They were wary of printed guides, as they could not be updated or personalised as easily as a manuscript and were thought to be less practical. Waghenaer aimed to change this attitude, and chose to do so by publishing his work as a large folio (rather than the traditional oblong), with copper engraved maps and typeset text. The first volume of the ‘Spieghel’ contains instructions on various navigation techniques and the use of the manual, and maps of coasts from Texel to Cadiz, each accompanied by a coastal profile. Portuguese navigators had pioneered the use of coastal profiles in navigation, but Waghenaer was the first to include them for every chart on a consistent scale. The second volume, published a year later, contained charts of the coasts north of Texel. They were engraved by Johannes van Doetecum, one of the finest workers of the age. The charts were based on Waghenaer’s own extensive experience, supplemented by manuscript and printed sources. The accompanying text was based on other sixteenth century navigation manuals. It was a revolutionary success, and was translated into German, Latin and French, as well as an unauthorised English edition. His work was so popular in England that the Anglicized version of his name, ‘Waggoner’, became a generic term referring to sea atlases and charts.Bibliografia: T.

WALCH Johann Kempten 1757 - Augsburg 1815)
Charte vom Koenigreich Polen nach seinen ehemahligen (1773) und demahligen Grenzen 1820
Rarissima carta della Polonia e Lituania, stampata ad Ausburg (Augusta) da Johannes Walch nel 1820. Si tratta del sesto, sconosciuto stato della carta – la carto bibliografia “Imago Polonia” (Varsavia, 2002), che descrive l’incredibile collezione Niewodniczanski contempla solo 5 stati della carta, di cui l’ultimo stampato nel 1807 – per la prima volta edita nel 1793.Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, piccole macchie di umidità negli angoli inferiori, altrimenti in perfetto stato di conservazione.La città imperiale di Augusta era un importante centro di produzione di mappe per l'Europa centrale nel XVIII secolo. Gli incisori più noti erano i residenti Johann Stridbeck e Gabriel Bodenehr, e gli editori d'arte Matthäus Seutter e il suo successore Tobias Conrad Lotter, e Johann Michael Probst, tutti specializzati nella pubblicazione di cartografica e topografica. La graduale recessione economica di Augusta ha lasciato il segno sulla fiorente attività di tipografia ed editoria. Solo Johann Martin Will e soprattutto Johannes Walch hanno impedito la completa scomparsa della produzione di mappe alla fine del XVIII secolo. La continuità della casa editrice Walch fino al momento attuale, tuttavia, non garantisce ampi archivi per la stesura di una cronologia dettagliata dell’editore di mappe tedesco. La casa editrice bruciò durante la seconda guerra mondiale e la maggior parte dei documenti scritti e stampati furono distrutti.Johannes Walch divenne attivo dal 1790 circa come incisore dei propri disegni di carte, sposando la figlia dell’altro editore John Martin Will. Le mappe in formato folio sono l'obiettivo principale del lavoro cartografico di Walch. Alcuni di loro prendono il titolo in modo molto specifico, vale a dire promozione delle vendite, riferimento agli attuali eventi di guerra, come ad esempio la “Neue General-Kriegs- Karte des Rheinstrohms” (3 tavole, 1793), la “Kriegstheater oder Graenzkarte zwischen Frankreich und Italien” (1786) e la “Polen nach seiner ersten, und lezten, oder gaenzlichen Theilung” (1796). Walch, tenendo conto del gusto del tempo, rinunciava completamente agli ornamenti. Le sue carte sono chiare e belle. Sono scritti principalmente in tedesco, in parte anche nell'allora francese alla moda. Le carte del Walch, non essendo parte di un atlante, sono assolutamente rare nel mercato antiquario. A very rare map of Poland and Lithuania by Johannes Walch, first published in 1793, here in his sixt – unknown – state, dated 1820. Imago Poloniae (the carthobibliography of the maps form the Niewodniczanski collection, Warsaw 2002) listed only 5 states of the map, the latest with the date 1807.Copperplate, with fine original outline colouring, light waterstains at the lower corners, otherwise very good condition.The imperial city of Augsburg was a leading center of map production for Central Europe in the 18th Century. Many of the resident copper engravers such as Johann Stridbeck and Gabriel Bodenehr, and the art publishers Matthäus Seutter and his successor Tobias Conrad, and Johann Michael Probst were specialized in the publication of cartographica and topographica.The gradual economic recession of Augsburg left its mark on the once flourishing printing and Publishing business. Only Johann Martin Will and especially Johannes Walch prevented the complete disappearance of map production at the end of the 18th Century. The continuity of the Publishing house Walch up until the present time, however, does not guarantee extensive archives for writing a detailed history of a German map publisher. The Publishing house burned down during World War II and most of the written and printed documents were destroyed.Although Walch and Will also acted as independent publishers in the future, there seems to have been an intimate business combination between the two companies, especially in the area of map production.Johannes Walch became active from about 1790 as engraver of his own map designs. He published his own sheets, but they also appeared partly in Will. In some cases, both names are equal in the map titles. For example, Walch becomes author and publisher, Will called as publisher. So early on, the agreement seems to have existed that Walch would be the publisher's successor to his father-in-law. This is also supported by the common home and business address of the two publishers and in particular the fact that Will does not male successor and his inheritance would have to fall anyway to his daughter and her husband Walch. Maps in folio format are the main focus of Walch's cartographic work. Some of them take in the title very specifically, that is sales-promoting, reference to current events of war, such as Poland after its first, and last, or total division - 1796. Soon, however, his publishing house also found a broad standard program of maps from the regional to the hemispheric map. His engravings are almost entirely editions of foreign originals, and he confessed this only in a few cases in the card title Far more often Walch claimed to have designed a map according to the latest astronomical location rules, most reliable travelogues and most valued resources to have. Walch, taking into account the taste of the time, completely renounced ornamentation. His maps are clear and fine. They are mostly written in German, partly also in the then fashionable French language. The large maps by Walch are not part of an Atlas, so they are quite rare on the antiquarian market. Cfr.
