Incisione in rame, mm 180x215 (foglio mm 190 x265). Tratta da "Isole famose, porti, fortezze e terre marittime sottoposte alla Serenissima Signoria di Venetia, ed altri Principi Christiani, et al Signor Turco, nouamente poste in luce". Stato I/II senza il numero in alto. Rara. Tra il 1560 ed 1575 Camocio pubblicÚ circa quaranta carte di grande formato e molte furono le carte di piccolo formato pubblicate sciolte tra il 1566 e il 1574, che andarono successivamente a formare il volume noto col nome "Isole famose, porti, fortezze e terre marittime". Le carte inserite nell'isolario di Camocio hanno la lastra ritoccata e un numero sequenziale aggiunto, mentre le prime prove sono caratterizzate dalla grande qualit? di stampa e dall'assenza del numero. Gli esemplari con la numerazione sono, invece, quelli inseriti nelle edizioni dell'isolario edite da Donato Bertelli - imprint In Venetia alla libreria del segno di San Marco. Tale edizione, sebbene priva di data, risale a dopo il 1575, anno in cui il Camocio scomparve durante l'epidemia di pestilenza a Venezia e gran parte della sua tipografia fu acquisita dal Bertelli.

Rare first state before the number. From Camocio's "Isole Famose". This work, as was usual for Camocio and his other contemporary publishers, was on the market as loose map and later included in the "Isole famose, porti, fortezze e terre marittime sottoposte alla Serenissima Signoria di Venetia, ed altri Principi Christiani, et al Signor Turco, nouamente poste in luce. In Venetia alla libreria del segno di San Marco". The issue with the numbers are, instead, those inserted in the editions of the book published by Donato Bertelli - showing the imprint In Venetia alla libreria del segno di San Marco. This edition, although without date, dates back to after 1575, the year in which the Camocio disappeared during the pestilence epidemic in Venice and much of its typography was acquired by Bertelli.

No binding. Condition: Very good. First. First edition, first state. [Venice: Camocio, 1559.] Single-sheet engraved map (18 15/16" x 12 13/16", 481mm x 326mm). Tanning verso (showing through to the recto a bit) along the center, indicating an erstwhile fold, and to the peripheries. Three pieces of old (hinging?) tape running along the upper edge of the verso, as well as a few filled splits and losses along the top and bottom. Slightly shaken impression at right. Presented in an acetate sleeve. Giovanni Francesco Camocio (active from the 1550's through the 1570's) was one of a group of Italian cartographer-booksellers known, a little artificially, as the "Lafreri school." His name has come to be associated with the present map because it was added in later states, this being the first of Bifolco-Ronca's four; the point is the absence of an address below the scale. Camocio appears to have cut a near-replica of an anonymous map dated 1557, which is itself based upon a 1556 map attributed to Vincenzo Luchini, all deriving ultimately from a 1547 map of Eufrosino della Volpaia. These maps all depict Lazio (the territory immediately surrounding Rome) with North at the upper-left corner (i.e., NE at the top). Visible within the city of Rome are the Castel Sant'Angelo, Pantheon and Colosseum. In the cartouche at bottom left are the impaled arms of the Camera Apostolica (the papal treasury; the crossed keys below the umbraculum in lieu of the papal tiara) and those of the city of Rome (S.P.Q.R., Senatus Populusque Romanus, "Roman Senate and People"). When the Catholic church is sede vacante --between the death of a pope and the election of his successor -- the Chamberlain as president of the Camera Apostolica is its temporal leader. Bifolco-Ronca locate this period sede vacante as that between the death of Paul IV 18 August 1559 and the election of Pius IV on Christmas day that year, the longest such period of the XVIc.

Single sheet, float mounted and framed (sheet size: 12 x 17 1/8 inches; 9 4/8 x 14 2/8 inches to the neat line, full margins showing the plate mark). Fine engraved map of the Atlantic Ocean by Paolo Forlani, decorated with a fine central compass rose and numerous rhumb lines. First edition, first issue with the imprint dated "M.D.L.X". A very important map of the Atlantic Ocean, showing the coastlines of the Americas from Labrador to Brazil, western Europe and western Africa, north from the Tropic of Capricorn. It is derived from Nicolas de Nicolai's map which he published in his French translation of Pedro de Medina's 'Arte de Navegar' in 1554. Nicolas de Nicolai had travelled extensively in the service of the French King, "usually as a spy" (Burden). His map shows clearly his knowledge of the Cartier's voyages up the St. Lawrence River. Camocio published a number of Forlani's most important and celebrated maps. Following in the footsteps of his great colleague Giacomo Gastaldi, Paolo Forlani was a Venetian engraver and publisher of many significant maps and charts in the period of the Renaissance. It was in Italy, and particularly in Venice, that the map trade, which was to influence profoundly the course of cartographic history, was most highly developed during the first half of the 16th century. Venice was the most active port in the world, and successful trading expeditions necessitated accurate maps. Venetian ships made regular trading voyages to the Levant and into the Black Sea, to the ports of Spain and Portugal, and along the coasts of Western Europe. In the 15th century the city had already become a clearing-house for geographical information, and the development of cartography in the city was further impelled by the accomplishment of Venetian printers and engravers. Forlani was perhaps the most prolific producer of maps in the mid-16th century, and largely responsible for diffusing advanced geographical information to other parts of Europe.

Incisione in rame, 275x388. Stato unico.Rara carta "lafreriana" raffigurante Creta in una forma arcaica. La carta segue il modello Zorzi-Pagano del 1538, di cui risulta essere praticamente una copia incisa in rame; della carta esiste una ristampa a cura di Bertelli nel 1584 e una senza indirizzo posteriore. Anche in questa incisione l'orografia a mucchi di talpa risulta piuttosto fantasiosa; evidenziata l'idrografia e curiosamente indicato il labirinto di Cnosso al centro. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione, eccettuata una traccia di umido nel margine sup., che sfiora la parte incisa. La carta Ë rifilata alla battuta della lastra ed i margini sono aggiunti all'epoca, secondo consuetudine per uniformare le dimensioni di carte diverse negli atlanti compositi. Nei punti di giunzione la colla ha arrossato la carta leggermente.

There is a second state of the map, dated 1584, by Donato Bertelli, and a later third one with his name erased.
