Description
FIRST EDITION. "This is a classic book on America and is much sought after by collectors of Americana as it contains, on p. 124, one of the first views of New York Novum Amsterodamum (Borba de Moraes).
The text engraving on p. 213 shows the crowning of Sir Francis Drake by the California Native Americans. First edition of the greatest illustrated book on America of the seventeenth century. “The finely executed engravings of this work are especially brilliant in this, the original edition” -- Church, 613. Included are a large folding map of the western hemisphere as well as maps of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Virginia, the Carolinas and Florida, Venezuela, and Guiana.
Of great significance is the engraving at the top of page 124, which is one of the first fine views of New York, called Novum Asterodamun. This engraving depicts the settlement at about 1650, and according to Stokes, was probably drawn by Augustine Herrman. Among the double-page views of forts and cities are Mexico City, Pagus Hispanorum in Florida, Havana, etc. The seven portraits include Columbus, Magellan and Pizzarro, while the 70 textual plates represent the games, festivals, battles, religious rites, cannibalism, habitations, manners and customs of the Indians.
The text is taken from many sources and cited on a leaf at the end (that of New York, for example, is from Vander Donck). There is a section on California (204-215) and an extended description of Brazil.
Provenance : From the celebrated Sobolesky Collection, with bookplate. The sale of the library formed by Sobolewski, an intimate friend of Pushkin, himself a poet and a historian of Russian printing, started with 594 lots of bibliography and continued with literature, history, travel, and geography, including many works on Russia.
Reference: Borba de Moraes, p. 586, Church 613, Phelps Stokes I, 142-143 and VI, 262, Sabin 50086.

Condition and Coloring

Color Key
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.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
