A propos de cet article

Very good. Faint offsetting and toning, few spots, else a lovely example. Size 15 x 19.5 Inches. This is a beautiful example of Willem Blaeu's 1634 map of Majorca, Minorca, and Ibiza (Ibiça). It is the first folio atlas map dedicated to the Balearic Islands, and the standard for the mapping of the islands in the Dutch Golden Age. A Closer Look Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are presented in detail, with, to a lesser extent, the smaller islands of Cabrera, Dragonera, and Monte Colibre. The coast of Valencia and Catalonia dominates the west part of the map and the sea is presented in the manner of a chart, with two compass roses and rhumb lines. The topography of the islands and the mainland is depicted pictorially, with mountains and forests in profile. Coastal towns are marked, but the interiors are not detailed. The sea is patrolled by two galleys and a sailing ship and two sea monsters prowl the waters north of Ibiza. Other decorations include an elegant title banner, an attractively engraved scale cartouche, and two coats of arms: the arms of Philip II at the upper left, and those of the Kingdom of Majorca at the upper right. The Source While this is the first map specifically to focus on all three of the main Balearides, it is not the first to show this topography and these placenames. Blaeu's geographical information here is drawn either from Hessel Gerritsz' 1612 four-sheet map of Spain (engraved in 1615 by Pieter van der Keere) or from a manuscript sourced from Gerritsz himself through their mutual connections in the Dutch West India Company. This map served as the standard mapping of the Balearides until the 1683 maps of Mallorcan soldier/scholar Vicente Mut i Armengol (1614 - 1687). Publication History and Census This map was engraved for inclusion in Willem Blaeu's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Sive Atlas Novus , appearing first in the 1634 German edition of that work. It remained in Blaeu atlases until the burning of the firm's offices in 1672. The present example conforms typographically with the 1640 Latin edition of the atlas. The map is well represented in institutional collections in its various editions and appears on the market. References: OCLC 551937965. Rumsey 10017.589 (1665). Van der Krogt, P. C.
