Description
Engraved by Antoine de Winter, this map covers the North African region of eastern Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, illustrating mountains, rivers and oases. Map contains title cartouche in upper right corner. This map appeared in "Algemeene Weereld-Beschryving, nae de Rechte Verdeeling der Landschappen, Plaetsen, Zeeën, Rivieren, &c. Geographisch, Politisch, Historisch, Chronologisch en Genealogisch," a Dutch edition of A. Phérotée de la Croix's "Nouvelle Methode Pour Apprendre Facilement la Geographie Universelle," which first appeared in 1690. The Dutch edition was published by François Halma and included 98 maps and views. Halma acquired many of the plates for "Algemeene Weereld-Beschryving...," from Joannes Ribbius, who had enlisted the services of engraver Antoine de Winter to make copies of the maps in Nicolas Sanson's quarto atlases of the four continents. De Winter made very few geographical changes and maintained the attribution to Sanson on the newly engraved plates. Halma supplemented the Sanson maps with about a dozen new maps engraved in the same style as Sanson's, without any attribution on the maps. Colored, horizontal map. Double paged, single sided map with binding on verso centrefold. 19 cm. x 28 cm. [Gift of Dr. Jack Franke]
