"This map appeared for the first time in the second edition of de Jode's atlas Speculum Orbis Terrae, Antverpiae. 1593. Though the map is entitled Novae Gvineae, only the upper part shows New Guinea: the lower section shows a wholly imaginative mountainous, Australian north-coast. On it is depicted a dramatic encounter between a hunter, armed with bow and arrows, and a griffon, a lion and a snake. In a way, this can be called the first printed map of Australia. The legend on New Guinea, apart from repeating the old complaint that it is not known whether it is an island or part of a continent, states: 'New Guinea is so called by the sailors because those coasts, the nature of the country, are similar to the African Guinea.' The matter of New Guinea and the south-land is taken up even more extensively in the text of the atlas (fol. 12v): 'This region is even today almost unknown, because after the first and second voyages all have avoided sailing thither so that it is doubtful even until today whether it is a continent or an island. The sailors called this region New Guinea because its coasts, state and conditions are similar in many respects to the African Guinea. Andreas Consalius seems to call it Peccinacolij. After this region the huge Australian land follows which - as soon as it is once known - will represent a fifth continent, so vast and immense is it deemed. In the east the Salomon Islands join up, in the north the S. Lazarus Archipelago; it also takes its beginning at two or three degrees south of the equator. In the west it is, if not an island, connected up with the Australian continent.' " (Schilder). "De Jode's rare map of New Guinea and Terra Australis Incognita is considered by some authorities to represent the first printed map of Australia. One of the remaining contentious issues on the history of the discovery of Australia is whether or not the Dutch were the first European nation to land on Australian soil. Many argue that it was indeed the Portuguese who landed first. Some say it was a little known French voyage that should claim the prize. De Jode's extraordinary map, showing New Guinea, the Salomon Islands and a large fictitious northern Australia, is frequently used to illustrate knowledge of Australia prior to the Dutch landing on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula in 1606. Tooley notes, 'It may be called the first map of Australia', while Schilder states, 'In a way, this can be called the first printed map of Australia'. Certainly the accompanying text lends weight to this viewpoint. The text from the atlas states . 'After this region, the huge Australian land follows which - as soon as it is known - will represent a fifth continent .' As with Montanus' map [of the world], the depiction of an 'Australian landmass' here probably represents no more than the charting of the tip of 'Terra Australis Incognita'. Such a portrayal of the Southland can be seen on the 1570 world map by Ortelius. De Jode's map does however hold a significant place in the history of the charting of Australia. The map is decorated with sea monsters, mermaids and ships. The large southern mainland is resplendent with a lion, griffin and a spear-hurling warrior. Gerard originally issued his atlas in 1578 to compete with Ortelius' atlas with little success. In 1593, two years after his death, Gerard's son Cornelius re-issued the atlas. This map first appeared in that posthumous edition and appears on the same sheet as 'Quivirae Regnum'." (Dewez). Gerard de Jode originally issued his atlas in 1578 to compete with Ortelius' atlas with little success. In 1593, two years after his death, Gerard's son Cornelius re-issued the atlas. The success of the atlas was very limited due to heavy competition with Ortelius, who also seems to have bought many copies of de Jode's atlas to take them off the market. Because of this, both editions of the de Jode atlas are exceptionally rare. "Gerard de Jode, born in Nijmegen, was a cartographer, engraver.…

Description de la boutique
We are foremost antiquarian dealers and experts in early cartographic material, including the finest antique maps of all parts of the world. We have been in this field for more than 25 years. We are members of the International Map Collectors Society, the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, and the Washington Map Society. We sell antique maps, sea charts, atlases, travel books, (master) prints, drawings, paintings, navigational instruments and other items related to early cartography and the age of discovery. We sell to a wide variety of clients everywhere in the world: to private collectors, corporate collectors, museums, libraries, as well as to colleague dealers. All items offered are genuine and authentic antiques guaranteed to have been printed (or hand drawn, or painted, or manufactured) at or near the given date, mostly 16th and 17th century. We gladly provide certificates of authenticity. Items may be always be returned for a full refund if they do not meet up to expectation, no questions asked. We want happy customers only, we want you to be happy, because we want your repeat business. Our mission is to sell happiness. We focus on the extraordinary items that make a difference to any collection, on the items that (almost) no collection has. These can be relatively common items yet in extraordinary condition, or in stunning color, items of exceptional rarity, unique one-of-a-kind items, items in first state or first edition, items of utmost historical significance or fame, or items of outstanding beauty or decorative value. Whether you pursue a complete comprehensive overview of all maps of your region or theme, or whether you just like to have a few maps, going for the extraordinary items is the best way to make your collection stand out. Collectors and libraries will envy you and current and future reference books and websites may well show and refer to your very items. Extraordinary items yield more happiness, delight, satisfaction and passion. Collecting extraordinary items is a sound long term investment strategy. While common run-of-the-mill items are prone to price erosion, with ample supply and modest demand, extraordinary items are a robust value for money. Why buy an ordinary item in ordinary condition that is already present in hundreds of private and institutional collections? One that you can also buy easily at any future date? Always keep in mind that nobody really "needs" an old piece of paper. Especially one that is not-so-rare. Therefore it is better to focus on the extraordinary pieces. These items always remain in strong demand. We sell you the items that make a difference. You are always welcome to visit us in California or the Netherlands, but we have no storefront so only by appointment. We travel extensively in the US, Europe, Asia, Australia and we would be pleased to contribute to your collection and to meet you in person.…
