Item description from seller

Original Kupferstich auf vollem Textblatt. Vor- und Rückseite bedruckt. -- Blatt-Maße: ca. 36 x 22 cm. -- am unteren Außenrand mit kleinem hinterlegten Einriss, am linken Außenrand mit kleinem Randeinriss, mit kleinem Wurmlöchlein, sonst gut erhalten. || Original copper engraving; on the comple"te text page. Printed on recto and verso. -- with a small wormhole, with a small deposited tear on the lower outer margin, with a small marginal tear on the left outer margin, otherwise in good condition. || This engraving comes from "Newe Welt und Americanische Historien.", a richly illustrated travel account by Johann Ludwig Gottfried. This particular piece is from the first edition, published in Frankfurt am Main in 1631 by the renowned published and engraver Matthaeus Merian. The work played a significant role in shaping European perceptions of the Americas, offering detailed descriptions of the landscapes, islands, kingdoms, provinces, and coastlines of the New World. Johann Ludwig Gottfried (1584-1633), a German publisher, took over the publishing house of Theodor de Bry and later issued this work. De Bry had originally obtained artwork and accounts from both French and English colonial expeditions in the late 16th century. Artists such as Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues and John White documented their experiences, and de Bry transformed their illustrations into copperplate engravings. Gottfried continued this legacy, incorporating these engravings along with new illustrations based on textual descriptionssometimes leading to the inclusion of fantastical elements like mermaids and dragons. Merian also contributed by re-engraving or replacing plates that had worn over time, while Gottfried oversaw the editing and translation. Scholar Borba de Moraes described this work as an "important and magnificent work" that remains highly sought after, rare, and valuable. Historian Michiel van Groesen further praised it in "America Abridged", by calling it "the apotheosis of the collection of voyages to the New World." || // Wir, das Antiquariat Steffen Völkel, kaufen und verkaufen alte Bücher, Handschriften, Zeichnungen, Autographen, Grafiken und Fotografien.
