Very good. Some areas of soiling; few mends in margin and at centerfold not impacting image. Size 17.75 x 21 Inches. This is an elegant and detailed 1759 world map by Johann Matthias Hase and Georg Maurice Lowitz, contributors to the firm of Homann Heirs. The map was first issued in 1746, reflecting the best available cartographic detail of the day both from French and Russian sources. The present example was updated c. 1759 to reflect the discoveries of Bering and Chirikov according to the 1754 Müller map, confirming the separation of the continents of Asia and North America. Müller's Updates The 1746 edition of this map showed a vast, unmarked space between the North American coast at about 45° North and the northeast of Russia at the Arctic Circle. Here, this has been significantly updated to include the detail revealed in Gerhard Friedrich Müller's 1754 Nouvelle Carte Des Decouvertes Faites Par Des Vaisseaux Russess Aux Cotes Inconnues De L'Amerique Septentrionale . Müller's map was the first to reveal the discoveries of Bering and Chirikov, and while Homann's map does not include their voyages' tracks, the combination of their reported discoveries and the speculative lands connecting them hails from Müller. That map, as here, indicated the coastline found by Gvosdev in 1730. The inclusion of this new cartography is particularly significant in that it confirmed for the first time, based on observation, that Asia and North America were separate continents. An Elegant, Up-to-Date Map The map blends rich decorative flourish and abundant scientific detail. Even the cartouches, hitherto a visual arena for allegory and political favor, here celebrate the natural world, including depictions of coral likely derived from the 1731 work of Englishman Mark Catesby. Cartographically, the map encapsulates the best mapping of the world before the voyages of Cook. Australia and New Zealand rely on Tasman's reports of the previous century. North America reflects De l'Isle's mapping of the Mississippi, the Great Lakes, and the West Coast, including a peninsular California. The sea between Korea and Japan appears here as 'Mare Oriental Minus' (The Lesser Eastern Sea). The Subordinate Charts In addition to the main hemispheres, the map includes an array of smaller hemispheres derived from earlier work by Lowitz. These include northern and southern projections, as well as two projections centered on Nuremberg and its antipodes. Two additional diagrams illustrate the parts of the globe directly illuminated by the Sun at the winter and summer solstices and its presumed effect on the thickness of the atmosphere. Publication History and Census This map was first engraved for inclusion in Homann Heirs atlases in 1746. According to C. Sandler in Johann Baptista Homann, die Homännischen Erben, Matthäua Seutter und Ihre Landkarten , Homann Heirs printed a Planiglobium both in 1746 and in 1759. It is reasonable to assign that latter date to this state of the map, although there were also later printings of the Homann Heirs atlases, and later editions of this map may exist. The map appears on the market in both its 1746 and its later states with some regularity, but since it is virtually always erroneously cataloged with the 1746 date without regard to the map's content, it is difficult to determine the relative scarcity of its states.
