Company Details – About ME. Lorraine Vers Le Midy. This beautifully hand coloured original antique map of the South Lorraine region of France – centering on the Moselle River with the city of Nancy to the north. To the south & the Meuse River to the west – by Gerard Mercator was published by Joducus Hondius in the 1638 edition of Mercators Atlas. (1563 – 1612), one of the most notable engravers of his time, is known for his work in association with many of the cartographers and publishers prominent at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century. In 1604 Hondius bought the plates of Mercator’s Atlas which, in spite of its excellence, had not competed successfully with the continuing demand of Abraham Ortelius’s. To meet this competition Hondius added about 40 maps to Mercator’s original number and from 1606 published enlarged editions in many languages, still under Mercator’s name but with his own name as publisher. These atlases have become known as the Mercator/Hondius series. The following year the maps were re-engraved in miniature form and issued as a pocket. After the death of Jodocus Hondius the Elder in 1612, work on the two atlases, folio and miniature, was carried on by his widow and sons, Jodocus II and Henricus, and eventually in conjunction with Jan Jansson in Amsterdam. In all, from 1606 onwards, nearly 50 editions with increasing numbers of maps with texts in the main European languages were printed. (Ref: Koeman; M&B; Tooley).

Gerard Mercator (Kremer) 1512-94. For nearly sixty years, during the most important and exciting period in the story of modern map making, Gerard Mercator was the supreme cartographer, his name, second only to Ptolemy, synonymous with the form of map projection still in use today. Although not the inventor of this type of projection he was the first to apply it to navigational charts in such a form that compass bearings could be plotted on charts in straight lines, thereby providing seamen with a solution to an age-old problem of navigation at sea. His influence transformed land surveying and his researches and calculations led him to break away from Ptolemy’s conception of the size and outline of the Continents, drastically reducing the longitudinal length of Europe and Asia and altering the shape of the Old World as visualized in the early sixteenth century. Mercator was born in Rupelmonde in Flanders and studied in Louvain under Gemma Frisius, Dutch writer, astronomer and mathematician. He established himself there as a cartographer and instrument and globe maker, and when he was twenty-five drew and engraved his first map (of Palestine) and went on to produce a map of Flanders (1540) supervising the surveying and completing the drafting and engraving himself. The excellence of his work brought him the patronage of Charles V for whom he constructed a globe, but in spite of his favor with the Emperor he was caught up in the persecution of Lutheran Protestants and charged with heresy, fortunately without serious consequences. No doubt the fear of further persecution influenced his move in 1552 to Duisburg, where he continued the production of maps, globes and instruments culminating in large-scale maps of Europe (1554), the British Isles (1564) and the famous World Map on 18 sheets drawn to his new projection (1569). All these early maps are exceedingly rare, some being known by only one copy. In later life he devoted himself to his edition of the maps in Ptolemy’s Geographia, reproduced in his own engraving as nearly as possible in their original form, and to the preparation of his 3-volume collection of maps to which, for the first time, the word’Atlas’ was applied. The word was chosen, he wrote,’to honor the Titan, Atlas, King of Mauritania, a learned philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer’. The first two parts of the Atlas were published in 1585 and 1589 and the third, with the first two making a complete edition, in 1595 the year after Mercator’s death. Mercator’s sons and grandsons were all cartographers and made their contributions in various ways to the great atlas. Rumold, in particular, was responsible for the complete edition in 1595. After a second complete edition in 1602, the map plates were bought in 1604 by Jodocus Hondius who, with his sons, Jodocus II and Henricus, published enlarged editions which dominated the map market for the following twenty to thirty years.

Aquitania Australis Regnu Arelatense Cum Cinfinijs. 47.5 cm x 35.5 cm copperplate engraving, 56 cm x 47.5 cm sheet size, modern hand colour, Amsterdam, engraved in Duisberg circa 1585, printed in Amsterdam 1633. We are pleased to offer this scarce example of the map (Van der Krogt 4002:1) of southern France compiled by the renowned Gerard Mercator. Bisected by the Rhone, the map follows the Mediterranean coast from Monaco into Spain and extends from south of the Pyrénées well into Burgundy. Mercator’s eponymous world map projection. Which in the felicitous phrase of his biographer. Nicholas Crane “reconciled the sphere and the plane”, combined with his unsurpassed dedication and skill as a cartographer and engraver make him without question the most famous mapmaker of all time. This example of the map was printed for the 1633 German edition of the famous Mercator-Hondius Atlas. The master engraver (and a fine geographer in his own right) Jodocus Hondius. Given the quality of the cartography and the superb engraving work including elegant calligraphy, it is no surprise that Mercator’s maps were still unsurpassed and continued to be issued decades after the plates were engraved as is the case here. Quite decorative with bold pictorial topography, this example exhibits hand colour work of the finest calibre, and will make an elegant presentation if matted and framed. We begin our survey of the map with the garlanded strapwork title caroutche – many of the ornate cartouches used by Mercator, Ortelius and other mapmakers of the time were derived from a series of ornament prints by the Dutch polymath Hans Vredeman de Vries. Note how plate is engraved with wavy lines in the Gironde estuary to illustrate outflow. Mileage scale and Mercator’s publishing privilege are presented in Spain – note bold pictorial representation of Pyrénées. To get a sense of map detail consider that the distance from Lyon to Geneva as seen below measures just 7 cm actual size. Note elegant calligraphy throughout – Mercator was a master calligrapher and wrote a highly influential treatise on the use of the “italic hand”. Provence and the lower Rhone – map shows Monaco, Nice and Antibes. To illustrate the cachet the Mercator name brought to marketing the Mercator-Hondius atlas, the famous frontispiece seen below shows Jodocus Hondius in fruitful collaboration with the great man himself, a wholly fictitious scenario. Still, the Hondius clan deserves great credit for rejuvenating Mercator’s Atlas and bringing to fruition the kind of cartographic collection Mercator originally envisioned. Note the small dog by the armillary sphere – symbol of the Hondius family and their printer’s mark De wackere Hondt (the watchful dog). The extensive German text on verso (derived by the Hondius firm from a variety of sources) is a fascinating document in and of itself – we present excerpts derived from the 1636 English edition below. Caesar divideth Gallia from Aquitania by the Gironde. It riseth out of the Pyrenaean Mountains and having visited Bordeaux and other places mingles itselfe with the Aquitanian Sea, by a mouth of two leagues breadth; at that entrance whereof there are some rocks which are called the Asses… ” “The Rhone was knowne by all Writers both the Greeke, who called it Podanos, and the Latine. Woodcut device on verso. Condition – Please note carefully: This 379-year-old map is in excellent condition as can be ascertained from photos, strong impression with prominent platemark, image area essentially pristine, centrefold as issued. Map exhibits some minor offset, most notably the afterimage of left border present in right margin; the extent of the offset can be evaluated in each of the large detail photos. Trivial soft creasing to margin extremities and verso exhibits small University of Copenhagen library stamp; deaccessioned with proper provenance. Part of original binding strip present on verso with its outline faintly visible on recto. Minor soiling and two trivial repaired chips to margin extremities. In all a fine example of an scarce and beautifully engraved map with superb hand colour work that will make a fine presentation if matted and framed.
