Description
RARE AND STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL WORLD MAP "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula auct. Iud. Hondio." Published in Paris by Jacob Honervogt, here with his address and dated 1625 right below the cartouch in the eastern hemisphere.
Shirley states: "Examples of the map are rare, and I have only seen one
with the date 1625 and two of a later state by Jollain dated 1655".
This double hemisphere map is based on Jodocus Hondius' world map of 1617. But unlike Hondius' 1617 map (but following his later one), Honervogt shows a zodiacal line, curving to the south of the equator on the left (western) hemisphere and to the north of the equator on the right (eastern) hemisphere.
The map by J.Hondius was the first to show Le Maire's Straits and the islands in the Pacific discovered by Jacob Le Maire and his explorations in New Guinea. In North America, Hondius' map was also one of the earliest to delineate Hudson's Bay, making special reference to Henry Hudson and the Dutch and English expeditions there up to 1612.
Hondius also extends the full course of the St. Lawrence river, which now curiously runs across the continent, terminating in a large lake. Decoratively, the map is one of the most attractive.
The corners contain scenes of the four seasons. Ver or Spring shows gardeners tending a formal Dutch garden; Aestas or Summer is the time for sheep-shearing; Autumn brings the grape harvest in for wine-pressing; and in Hyems or Winter skaters revel on a frozen lake.
On either side of the north and south celestial hemispheres are recumbent figures representing the four elements: Terra, Aqua, Ignis and Aer.The map in the cartouche on the right is dedicated to the English mathematicians Henry Briggs and Edward Wright.
Jacob (or Jacques) Honervogt (c.1583-c.1694), was a German-born engraver, who moved to Paris in about 1608. Honervogt's output of maps is extremely limited and only 16
maps, primarily based upon the work of other mapmakers are known to exist.
He established a map shop in Paris by 1624 and sometime
after 1654, he took Gerard Jollain as a partner. Jollain continued
the business after Honervogt's death.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
