Bell'esemplare con qualche piccola macchietta nel margine bianco.Gli Eredi Homann (1730 - 1848) casa editrice di carte geografiche con sede a Norimberga, attivi dalla metà alla fine del XVIII secolo. Dopo la morte del grande cartografo Johann Baptist Homann (1664 - 1724), la direzione dell'azienda passò al figlio Johann Christoph Homann (1703 - 1730).  J. C. Homann, forse rendendosi conto che non sarebbe sopravvissuto a lungo al padre, stabilì nel suo testamento che l'azienda sarebbe stata ereditata dai suoi due direttori, Johann Georg Ebersberger (1695 - 1760) e Johann Michael Franz (1700 - 1761), e che sarebbe stata pubblicata solo con il nome di "Eredi Homann".  Questa denominazione,   compare sulle mappe a partire dal 1731 circa.  L'azienda continuò a pubblicare mappe in quantità sempre minore fino alla morte dell'ultimo proprietario, Christoph Franz Fembo (1781 - 1848).  La Gumina n. 428.

Founded in 1702 by Johann Baptist Homann, the business passed to his son, Christoph, upon Johann's death in 1724. Christoph died in 1730, aged only 27, and the firm was inherited by subsequent Homann heirs. This changed the name of the company, which was known as Homann Erben, or Homann heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848.

Original hand-coloured copper-engraving. Plate Size: 45 cm x 56.5 cm. Sheet Size: 47.3 cm x 58.3 cm. Original map. In good condition. Some browning evident. Some minor imperfections to outer margins. Interesting and detailed map of The Netherlands from Brouwershaven in the south to Den Helden in the north. The map is crowded with topographical detail, showing the location of rivers, hills, towns and cities and the network of canals criss-crossing Holland. The sandbanks of the shallow Zuiderzee (De Zuyder Zee) can be seen. Haarlemmer Meer and Leydsche Meer are also identified on the map - much of this was drained and reclaimed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Just four years after this map was published, the old Dutch Republic was ended with the creation of a Revolutionary-France-backed Batavian Republic/Commonwealth, which eventually became a client state within the Napoleonic Empire. Inset box, located in top left corner, shows the West Frisian Islands of Texel, Elieland and Der Schelling. Decorative cartouche, bar scales and map reference keys lie off the coast. This map of the Dutch coast was the work of Prussian cartographer Franz Ludwig Güssefeld (1744-1807). It was drawn based on the calculations of the renowned Dutch mathematician Willebrord Snellius (1580-1626), a professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden, who conceived the idea of measuring the earth using triangulation. Snellius's discoveries helped to determine the radius of the earth as well as led to more accurate ways of measuring the distance between two cities.

Etat : Very Good. This attractive composite image was published in Nuremberg around 1749 by the Homann Heirs. It shows a detailed overview of five Caribbean islands within the British sphere of colonial influence - St. Kitts, Antigua, Bermuda, Barbados, and Jamaica. Each map was originally designed by Hermann Moll in 1729 and offers a decidedly British perspective on the economically important islands, though toponyms are presented in a mix of English, Latin, and German. Plantations, mills, and other local industries are labeled, in addition to geographic features, settlements, and military installations. Political divisions are outlined with hand color and topography is depicted pictorially. During the mid-18th century, Britain's Caribbean colonies, notably Jamaica, Barbados, and Antigua, played a crucial role in the Atlantic slave trade and sugar production. These colonies were characterized by large plantations worked by enslaved Africans, who endured unspeakably brutal conditions and average lifespans of as low as seven years (on sugar plantations). The economic prosperity of the Caribbean colonies was closely tied to the triangular trade, where raw materials like sugar and molasses were exported to Britain and contributed significantly to the growth and financial security of the British Empire.

unbound. Atlas title page. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 16.25 x 10.25". Sheet measures 19.5 x 12.25". This lovely title page comes from Johann Baptist Homann's "Atlas mapparum geographicarum generalium & specialium," or "Atlas of specific and general maps," as published in the 18th century by his heirs. The title is printed in a combination of Latin block letters and script. Below it is a map of the northern hemisphere shown on a polar projection, notably displaying California as an island. A border visualizing the outer ring of an astrolabe surrounds the globe, and the sun and moon create pleasing shading on its surface. Above, a banner above reads "Nulla dies abeat, quin linea ducta supersit," which translates to "Let not a day pass without a drawn line remaining," possibly referring to the division between light and dark created by the movement of the Earth around the sun. Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was a renowned German mapmaker of the late-17th and early-18th century who served as geographer to the Holy Roman Emperor. His business was carried on through the 18th century by the Homann Heirs, also prolific and popular mapmakers. Their continued success with maps such as this one proves the enduring value of Homann's work.
