A propos de cet article

THE WARDINGTON COPY, WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHART OF NEW JERSEY. Amsterdam: Peter Goos, 1670. Fourth edition in English. Folio (20 11/6" x 13 5/16", 526mm x 339mm): binder's blank, [pi]1, A-B2, binder's blank [$1 signed; +A2]. 5 leaves, pp. [10] (title, blank, 7pp. preface, contents). With 41 double-page maps (of 40 called for in the contents) with contemporary hand-color. Bound in contemporary yapp-edged Dutch stabbed vellum with alum-tawed leather ties. Boards panelled gilt, with a gilt fleuron centerpiece. On the spine, nine gilt rolls making eight panels, each with a gilt rosette at center and gilt corner-fleurons. All edges of the text-block gilt. With the hinges starting a little. Some soiling and cockling generally, but altogether a solid binding. Repairs are noted as having been carried out by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. The title-leaf has been remounted on a stub (with some fraying at the edges of the leaf), and each chart is fully mounted on a pair of leaves. The charts have been numbered in ink manuscript in an old hand. Occasional mild toning throughout, but in general a very sound volume. A little worming to the upper margin through chart 23. Ownership signature of Harr[?] Smyth in an early hand in ink on the title-page (cancelled), A2r (cancelled) and the recto of the initial backing leaf of chart 9 (offsetting to the verso of the the final backing leaf of chart 8). Bookplate of Lord Wardington at the rear paste-down. Pieter Goos (1615-1675) was born to be the great Dutch mapmaker of the XVIIc; his father was Abraham Goos (1590-1643), himself a pioneering mapmaker. As Dutch dominance of the seas came to be indisputable with the East India Company, the golden age of Dutch cartography reached its zenith in the 1670's. Goos's Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Wereld (1666), of which the present item is the uncommon English-language edition, is commonly crowned the high-point of Dutch atlas-production. Whereas other sea-atlases teemed with permutations and repetitions, Goos's Sea-Atlas hones the crucial waterways to forty charts. The present copy, as do others, has an additional chart of New Jersey, numbered 34: "Paskaerte Van de Zuijdt en Noort Revier in Nieu Nederlant Streckende van Cabo Hinloopen tot Rechgewach." In this fourth English-language edition -- issued, of course, for the benefit of the British, despite their ongoing conflicts with the Dutch -- the charts, with the exception of the third (1669) correspond to the edition of 1668. The identity of Harr(y; Harold? Henry?) Smyth is a tantalizing mystery; the hand is early to be sure, and the repeated signatures lead one to wonder whether he owned the sheets before the book was bound. Why were two of the three signatures cancelled? Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease (1924-2005), 2nd Baron Wardington, was a book collector of great renown, building a splendid library at his Oxfordshire home, Wardington Manor. His particular interest was the very finest examples of cartography. His sale (Sotheby's London, 18 October 2005; the present item lot 178) was a landmark in the field, and its catalogue practically a reference work in its own right.
