Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Volume one, only (of 2). Folio (18 6/8 x 12 inches). Engraved title-page with letterpress overslips to the title and imprint, magnificent double-page engraved portrait of Mercator and Hondius, 81 engraved maps, including a fine example of Hondius' double-hemisphere world map (Shirley 336, state 1), six maps with amateur hand-colour in outline (map of Denmark with a repaired marginal tear, map of Prussia with frayed right hand edge). Modern half vellum marbled paper boards. Volume one only of the first English-language edition of Henricus Hondius and Joannes Janssonius's revision of Mercator's atlas, published in 1630 as a response to the growing threat of their competitor Willem Blaeu. The only atlas of the world to appear in English since the publication of Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The Theatre of the Whole World", published by John Norton in 1606. Each map is accompanied by descriptive text, bringing the glories of Charles I's empire, before it was torn apart by the Civil War, to a wider audience in a language that they could read. The wonderful double-hemisphere world map "is a fine ornate example of the decorative cartography of the time. The two hemispheres are bordered by voluptuous representations of the four elements and other scenes: in the top corners are portraits of Julius Caesar and Claudius Ptolemy and in the bottom corners are portraits of the author's father Jodocus Hondius and his mentor Gerard Mercator. For geographical detail Hondius has followed Speed and his contemporaries and also presents California as an island. New features include part of the north Australia coastline extending towards New Guinea and a redrawing of north-east Canada with 'Queen Anne's forland' (Baffin Island) shown completely circled by open water." (Shirley 336). The Hondius-Jansson world map was included in all issues of the Mercator atlas from 1633 to about 1658. Maps that relate to America include the world map, and the Poli Arctici, other maps are of England, Ireland, Scotland, northwest Europe and Greece. "Jodocus Hondius obtained the copper-plates of Mercator's atlases (Ptolemy's "Geographia" and the "Atlas") on 12 July 1604. He probably bought them at Leiden at the auction of Mercator's library, then in the possession of his grandson, Gerard Mercator, Jr. A partly new text to the maps was written by Petrus Montanus. after [Jodocus Hondius's] death, the widow with her seven children continued publishing the atlases under the name of Jodocus Hondius till 1620. The firm was reinforced by the very welcome help of Joannes Jansonius (1588-1664), who married 24-year-old Elizabeth Hondius in 1612. After 1619 the Atlas was published under the name of Henricus Hondius [Jodocus Hondius's son] (Koeman). Koeman II, Me 41a; Phillips Atlases 449.
