Description
The 1702 Scherer Map of the Philippine Islands (Philippines) and Guam. An uncommon and attractive map showing the Philippines, Japan, Korea and Indonesia, with an inset of the island of Guam, by the Jesuit Heinrich Scherer, printed in for Scherer's 'Atlas Novus'.
Rarely portrayed in early maps, Guam is here given prominence due to the Jesuit missions that were founded there 50 years prior to the publication of this map. The title cartouche is held between two native children, one of whom is gazing on the Jesuit emblem that hovers above. A key on the lower left shows mileage scales in German, French, and Spanish miles.
Several fishes and ships decorate the seas.
Large decorative cartouche, large compass rose, sea monsters and sailing ships embellish this map.
Heinrich Scherer (1628-1704) taught as Professor of Hebrew, Mathematics and Ethics at the University of Dillingen until about 1680. Thereafter, he obtained important positions as Official Tutor to the Royal Princes of Mantua and Bavaria. It was during his time in Munich as Tutor to the Princely house of Bavaria that his lifetime's work as a cartographer received acclaim and recognition.
Scherer's World Atlas, the 'Atlas Novus', first published in Munich between 1702 and 1710, and reissued in a second edition between 1730 and 1737, forms a singularly unusual, almost revolutionary work in terms of the development of European mapmaking at the beginning of the 18th Century.

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.
