Condition: Very good condition. Detailed copper engraved map of the Maldives, southwest of India and Sri Lanka, and extending from Isles Divandorou down to Pora Moluque. The low elevation above sea level makes these islands the Earth's lowest nation, with concerns about rising sea levels causing its government to make a carbon neutral pledge. From Prevost's "L'Histoire Generale des Voyages". Bellin (1703 - 1772), one of the most noted French mapmakers of the 18th century, was named the hydrographer (chief cartographer) to the French Navy, and later, the Official Hydrographer to the French King. With a compass rose, rhumb lines and decorative cartouche. Strong impression, very clean.

Very good condition. Original centerfold exhibits minor toning. Blank on verso. Size 11.75 x 16.5 Inches. A beautiful example of Rigobert Bonne's 1770 decorative map of southern India. Covers both the Malabar and Coromandel coasts as well as the Maldives, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the Andaman Islands, and parts of Sumatra and Southeast Asia. Rhumb lines throughout. Arrows in the Indian Ocean show the direction of prevailing winds during the dry season and the monsoon season. This important Indian Ocean wind system, which blew one way for half the year, and the opposite for the other half, created a critical trade artery from antiquity to pre-modern times. Drawn by R. Bonne in 1770 for issue as plate no. B 26 in Jean Lattre's 1776 issue of the Atlas Moderne . References: Rumsey 2612.054. Phillips (Atlases) 664. National Maritime Museum, 215.

Excellent. Few marginal spots well away from printed image, else fine. Size 15 x 11.5 Inches. This is Vincenzo Coronelli's 1688 / 1696 globe gore, presenting a map of western India, coastal Persia, and the eastern extreme of the Arabian Peninsula. It was initially engraved in 1688 for Coronelli's 42-inch (3 1/2 foot) terrestrial globe but was repurposed for publication in Coronlli's 1696 Libro dei Globi and Isolario . A Closer Look The gore spans from the Equator to about 25 degrees north. The map's northwest limits include the Kerman province of what is now Iran; the northeast shows part of Rajasthan in India. In the extreme southeast, a glimpse of Sri Lanka can be seen. The map includes the Maldives and an archipelago corresponding to the Lakshadweep Islands. The map thus presents the western coast of India, as well as the coasts of present-day Iran and Pakistan. Sources The text in the map's elegant cartouche credits the cartography to the reports of the Portuguese Aleixo da Mota (fl. 1595 - 1622). For the coastlines, this is credible: he was a pilot in India at the beginning of the 17th century and produced a manuscript of his travels in 1621. Its appearance here is significant, as da Mota's routier was not published until 1696, not only long after the author's death but well after the publication of Coronelli's globe. The interior portions are derived mainly from Jansson's 1636 map of the Mogul Empire. The coast near Mumbai shows other influences. Bombay is named ( Bombaim , after the Portuguese) within an exaggerated bay whose islands suggest Coronelli's familiarity with either the 1672 Fryer or the 1685 Thornton maps of Bombay. Publication History and Census This engraving was executed in 1688 as part of Coronelli's 3 1/2-foot terrestrial globe and was partially masked for inclusion in one of Coronelli's bound volumes. This sheet can be found in both the Libro Dei Globi and the Isolario . Scianna has cataloged only thirteen copies of the full Libro dei Globi in institutional and private collections; perhaps a dozen examples of the Isolario are cataloged in institutional collections. We see only two examples of the separate gore in OCLC: one at Yale and the other at the Qatar National Library. References: OCLC 166322485. Rumsey 11391.104. Wallis, H.
