Daniel Crouch; Nick Trimming;

Catalogus van zeldzame boeken op het gebied van topografie, atlassen, cartografie, met daarin verwachte veilingopbrengsten, geïllustreerd met talloze kleurenplaten. Tekst in het Engels. Als nieuw, Like New.

This is a catalogue of maps, all published separately, and they cover territories as large as the Earth and as small as a particular city or county. There is a large collection of county and town maps from England, and another extensive selection of maps that appear on playing cards. Here are a few of the other maps you will find within.   The catalogue starts with the spectacular Map of the World in a globular projection exhibiting Particularly the Nautical Researches of Capn James Cook... This is an updated 1799 edition of the Aaron Arrowsmith map first published in 1794. This map shows the world in two half globes, one for each hemisphere. Added to the map are the routes taken on Captain James Cook's three voyages, which provided Europe with much of its knowledge of the Pacific, including Australia, the west coast of North America, and many of the Pacific islands. It was also Cook who determined there was no massive Antarctic continent as previously believed. Each voyage is shown by a different colored line, with the last one changing from blue to black in Hawaii after Cook died. Arrowsmith was a leading cartographer of his era and the founder of a line of mapmaking Arrowsmiths who followed. This map notably shows the American Northwest, which he would reproduce in a separate more detailed map, as it was known just before Lewis and Clark set out on their travels into the territory. Priced at £20,000 (British pounds, or roughly $33,230 in U.S. Currency).
