    Condition: molto buono. Incisione in rame colorata da mano coeva. Gioco di 67 caselle numerate, spirale, antiorario, centripeto che illustra la storia dei Re di Francia da Pharamond a Luigi XVI. Il gioco è molto simile al gioco stampato sempre da Crepy con titolo: "Nouveau Jeu Historique et Cronologique des Rois de France. In queste due edizioni, che oltre al titolo presentano altre piccole differenze, alla casella 66 l'immagine di Luigi XV è sormontata da quella di Luigi XVI casella 67. Quindi il gioco originariamente di 66 caselle e databile 1750 viene modificato con l'aggiunta di una nuova casella in occasione dell'elezione di Luigi XVI avvenuta nel 1775.

    Condition: en bon état. PARIS CREPY 1700 une vue d'optique en couleurs, GRAVÉE A L'EAU-FORTE ET AQUARELLÉE SUR PAPIER DE FORMAT: 38 x 24 cm., fait par Aveline avec Privilege du Roy, Crepy ex., 1700 PARIS CREPY Editeur, en bon état Les vues d'optiques sont un type particulier d'estampes populaires publiées en Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Ces estampes étaient une forme de divertissement destinée à être vue à travers des appareils appelés « machines optiques », « optiques », « zograscopes ». Ces estampes étaient exposées par des forains ambulants dans les rues de toute l'Europe et étaient également collectionnées par les professionnels et les classes supérieures qui possédaient des machines optiques chez eux. Il y avait une grande curiosité pour l'apparence des villes européennes non visitées et des lieux exotiques aux confins du globe, et ces estampes étaient l'un des seuls moyens pour le grand public d'avoir un aperçu du monde. Les machines optiques utilisées pour ces gravures étaient équipées d'une lentille qui améliorait pour les spectateurs le grossissement et la perception de la profondeur tridimensionnelle des scènes représentées. Un miroir était souvent utilisé pour que les gravures en perspective puissent être vues à plat, et dans ces cas, les images étaient vues à l'envers. Il n'est donc pas rare que les scènes représentées soient dessinées à l'envers, et il y a souvent aussi un titre imprimé à l'envers en haut, permettant aux spectateurs de le lire rapidement. Il y avait généralement un texte supplémentaire au bas des gravures, souvent en plusieurs langues, qui pouvait être lu par l'opérateur de l'optique au bénéfice de son public . rare gravure . en bon état (good condition).…

Part of the multi-generational Crépy publishing dynasty founded by his grandfather Jean Crépy (16601739), Jean-Baptiste was among the most active Parisian publishers of the mid-18th century, producing maps, prints, and geographically themed games. He collaborated with leading French mapmakers including André Basset. The Crépy firm published until 1790, when it went into liquidation.This map depicts the German Reich the Holy Roman Empire with its component states, principalities, and sovereign territories clearly shown. The coverage extends from the Danish border in the north to northern Italy in the south, and from Poland and Hungary in the east to France and England in the west. The decorative title cartouche in the upper left, framed by soldiers, a lion, an angel, and two heraldic shields, is characteristic of French 18th-century engraving at its most ornate.

    Incisione originale eseguita all`acquaforteeseguita da Jean-Baptiste Crepy risalente a circa il 1756 suuna lastraprecedente di Henry Popple. La mappa di Popple, conosciuta comunemente come \"Popple`s Key Map\" è considerata una delle più importanti del Nord America pubblicate nel XVIII secolo. La mappa di Popple copre dalla Baia di Hudson al Spanish Main, e dal Rio Grande ai Grand Banks. Sul lato destro del foglio ci sono diciassettepiccole mappe di alcuni distretti della città e del porto.Questa mappa è, come suggerisce il suo nome più comune `Popple`s Key Map`, una chiave per assemblare i fogli separati della massiccia mappa murale di Popple. La mappa Popple e le relative Key Maps furono originariamente pubblicate a Londra intorno al 1733. Seguirono diverse ristampe successive da parte di vari cartografi, inclusa un`edizione francese del 1746 di Le Rouge su cui si basa l`attuale mappa. Nel 1756, l`editore francese di mappe Crepy acquistò le tavole per la mappa chiave e iniziò a pubblicare una sua variante - di cui questa è un esempio. In questa edizione, pubblicata più come mappa indipendente che come chiave per la mappa murale più grande, gli indicatori numerici destinati a identificare i 20 fogli della mappa più grande sono stati rimossi. La mappa di Popple si rivelò molto influente, essendo la mappa più grande e dettagliata del Nord America mai pubblicata. Popple era impiegato presso il Board of Trade and Plantations. La sua grande mappa fu commissionata dal consiglio con l`intento di essere esposta in vari uffici delle colonie. Originariamente l`intento del Board of Tradeera che la nuova e più accurata mappa del Nord America di Popplefosse d`aiuto per risolvere dispute legate alle espansioni rivali delle colonie inglesi, spagnole e francesi. Popple raccolse materiale per realizzarela sua mappa dalle migliori fonti allora disponibili, tra cui la mappa del sud-est del colonnello Barnwell, la `Carte de la Louisane` di Delisle e la mappa delle Nazioni Irochesi di Cadwallader Colden, tra le altre. La conseguente vasta mappa illustrava il Nord America a un livello di dettaglio e precisione mai visto prima. Tuttavia, come prima mappatura britannica su larga scala del Nord America, la mappa Popple si rivelò enormemente influente e fu ampiamente copiata da altri cartografi di varie nazioni. Copie sono registrate nelle collezioni di luminari come George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams e Benjamin Franklin, solo per citarne alcuni. La mappa fu infine utilizzata sia da ufficiali francesi che britannici in varie trattative incluse quelle alla fine della Guerra franco-indiana (1754 - 1763). La mappa di Popple fu infine superata in importanza e accuratezza dalla mappa di John Mitchell del 1755. Esemplare in buono stato conservativo.…

    RARE AND MONUMENTAL WALL MAP OF ASIA "L'Asie dressée sur les nouvelles observations faites en touttes [sic] les parties de la terre et rectifiées." Copper engraving by Jean-Baptiste Nolin, published in Paris by Jean-Baptiste Crépy in 1781 on 4 central sheets, plus borders. Mounted on linen. Size: approx. 126 x 140 cm. Nolin's map was produced at the junction of the decline of the Dutch dominance of world exploration and cartography and the rise of the British and French. The map consequently provides a fitting bridge between the two eras. Geographically, the map features the Asian continent, including an allegorical cartouche, a geographical and a historical description in the lower decorative border, and 30 vignettes on Asian history rendering an interesting mix of biblical history of Asia Minor, the Tartarian invasion of China, the Crusades with the Sieges of Damietta and Jerusalem etc.Cartographically the map is based upon the work of Nolin's father of the same name. It extends from the Mediterranean to New Guinea and the Japanese Kuril Islands, and from Spitzbergen to Northern Australia. The map is surrounded by elaborate decorative imagery including 30 decorative vignette medallions drawn from Greek, Roman, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic history. The extensive text along the lower margin features a Description Géographique de l'Asie and a Description Historique de l'Asie. In the upper left corner, an especially resplendent cartouche illustrates Jesuit priests evangelizing to the diverse peoples of the continent. While exhibiting extensive confidence and detail throughout, this map is heavily speculative with regards to unexplored territory. Greenland for example, extends eastward north of Spitsbergen almost as far as Nova Zembla, which itself is attached to the Asiatic mainland. India is exceptionally narrow following Nicolas Sanson's model of around 1690. The sea between Japan and Korea, whose name, nowadays either the "Sea of Korea", "east Sea", or the "Sea of Japan", is currently a matter of historical and political dispute between the countries and is here identified in favor of both countries, with both Mer et Golfe de Coree and Mer Septentrionale du Japon applied to the same sea. The map's most speculative sections are in East and Northeast Asia, where, despite being issued after the explorations of Vitus Bering, the cartography here dates to about 1740, due to the fact that Bering's information was not yet widely available outside of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Instead, the cartographer relies on early Dutch records relating to the voyage of Maarten Gerrtisz de Vries and Cornelis Jansz Coen. Here modern day Hokkaido ("Terre d'Yesso"), the southern parts of which are vaguely recognizable, is attached to the Yupi peninsula (Sakhalin). Several islands extending to the northeast, represent De Vries and Coen's discovery of the Japanese Kuril Islands of Kunashir (mapped somewhat accurately) and Iturup. De Vries and Coen's mapping of Iturup does not extend beyond the western shores, so the eastern part of the island remains blank. Some cartographers of the period attached Iturup to a larger land maps identified as "Terre de Gama". Gama, in this case refers to the Portuguese explorer João da Gama (c. 1540 after 1591), grandson of Vasco de Gama, who reportedly crossed the North Pacific in the 1580s, in the process mapping some of the Kuril Islands, possibly some of the Aleutian Islands, and potentially even part of the American Coast. 'Gamaland' was subsequently mapped speculatively on many maps. The reality of Gamaland, as presented here by Nolin, is probably a mismapping of several of the Aleutian Islands as a single landmass attached to the American mainland. Here that landmass, identified as "Partie de L'Amerique" is ghosted in suggested a tenuous state of discovery. Just to the north of these islands the Amur River (Yaniour) exhibits a particularly fiery and virulent outflow into the Arctic suggesting impassibility. The Amur river was explored by the Russian Cossack expedition of Vassili Poyarkov in 164344. The Cossacks established the fort of Albazin on the upper Amur, mapped here, at the site of the former capital of the Solon people. When this map was issued, the fort has fallen under the control of the Chinese. Further to the north there is an unusual projection into the Arctic generally known as Witsen's Peninsula. This oddity appears on numerous maps dating from the late 17th and early 19th century. It is a legacy of Peter the Great's obsession over the search for a Northeast Passage. Around 1648 the Cossack Semyon Dezhnev (1605 - 1673) put together a rough and ready expedition to explore the region. His company consisted of Fedot Alekseyev, traveling with the merchants Andreev and Afstaf'iev (representing the Guselnikov merchant house), who provided their own ship, and Gerasim Ankudinov, an experienced sea captain with his own ship and some 30 men. Dezhnev, along with Mikhail Stadukhin, recruited some 19 men of their own and procured a traditional koch ship. Including escort vessels, a total seven ships sailed from the mouth the Kolyma River, along the Siberian Arctic, to the Anadyr River north of Kamchatka, and in doing so became the first Europeans to sail through the Bering Strait some 80 years before Vitus Bering. Dezhnyov described rounding a large mountainous promontory identified as Chukchi Peninsula. Of the seven vessels the multiple leaders, only three ships, including Dezhnev's, survived the passage. His expedition was mostly forgotten outside of limited cartographic circles until Gerhardt Friedrich Müller discovered Dezhnyov's reports and in 1758 published them. Dezhnyov ultimately proved that there was indeed a nautical route from Russia to East Asia, but at the same time confirmed that it was exceedingly impractical for trade.
