  • Map of The Turkish Empire – Tirion – 1730

    Map of The Turkish Empire – Tirion – 1730

    An original copper engraved map by Dutch cartographer Isaak Tirion (1705-1765) of the Turkish Empire. Published in Amsterdam 1730. Very good original condition with centrefold as issued. Incredible detail throughout. Mountain ranges shown pictorially.

    Tirion produced several Atlases and Dutch town plans. Some suggest that his maps were based on those of Guillaume de L’isle although we see them as being much more detailed than de L’ísle’s standard.

    Naturally the map takes in areas not part of the broader Turkish Empire and covers from Portugal in the west to Persia in the east, the Horn of Africa in the South and beyond the Crimea in the North

    Price $120.00 unframed. Dimensions 34cm by 28cm.

  • Map of Colony of Queensland 1895

    Map of Colony of Queensland 1895

    Nicely coloured antique map of Queensland up to Endeavour Reef. Published in London by Bacon a good size 44cm by 32cm with centre fold as issued.

    Rather late for a Voyager map but then Queensland was still changing and being populated. Many of the larger northern centres are still to emerge. Fraser Island is still named Great Sandy Island and the ocean has yet to break through Stradbroke Island to form the North and South islands we now know. This happened in 1898.

  • Curious Map of the Eastern Hemisphere – Calmet 1728 – Early Australia Outline

    Curious Map of the Eastern Hemisphere – Calmet 1728 – Early Australia Outline

    An original special and unusual copper engraved map by Antoine Calmet (1672-1757) published in 1728 for his work on the Creation of the World. Below the map of the Old World is a sphere representing the creation of the Universe with the Earth at its centre. Very good condition un-coloured as it should be with a strong plate impression. 33cms by 22cms in plate impression.

    Whilst the map highlights Africa, Europa and Asia the strong depiction of those parts of Australia discovered and mapped by the Dutch is charming with the Gulf of Carpentaria connected to New Guinea as was thought then.

    Calmet was a French Benedictine monk and scholar born in Lorraine. He became very learned and out of humility refused honours from the Pope. The map is believed to have been engraved by Strackman (1680-1730) who worked with distinguished cartographers De Fer and De L’ilsle

    Price $290.00 framed in stylish charcoal frame in cream mat with black core … a combination that works well with early uncoloured maps … enquire if you wish this map unframed or an alternative.

  • Part of Australia comprising the settled portions of New South Wales and South Australia. – William Hughes – 1844

    Part of Australia comprising the settled portions of New South Wales and South Australia. – William Hughes – 1844

    A fine example of Adam and Charles Black’s 1844 map which pre-dated the formation of Victoria in 1851 so here is referred to as Australia Felix. The inset map shows Norfolk Island. The coastline to the East extends past Moreton Island and to the West to Point Fowler. The interior is still sparsely understood and the extent of Lake Torrens is perhaps greatly exaggerated. Twenty Counties of New South wales are outlined in colour and a key is shown in the bottom right. Relief is shown by hachure.

    Included in the National Library Collection, cited in Tooley’s dictionary of mapmakers 142. Dimensions 36.7 by 25.3 cm.

    Charles and uncle Adam Black founded their publishing firm in 1807. Their publications included the Encyclopaedia Britannica and incidentally Walter Scott’s novels.

    William Hughes (1818-1876) was a cartographer active in London during the middle part of the 19th century. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1838 and from 1840 taught cartography at a number of distinguished institutions and was also the map librarian at the British Museum.

  • Very Early Map of the Island of Borneo – from De Bry’s account of Van Noort’s Voyages – c1602

    Very Early Map of the Island of Borneo – from De Bry’s account of Van Noort’s Voyages – c1602

    An original and rare copper engraved map of the island of Borneo (Borneo Insula) and its neighbouring Islands published by Theodore De Bry. First issued circa 1602 from Olivier Van Noorts journal of his Voyages around the World.

    Engraved by Benjamin Wright shows Van Noort’s ship in the bay at Brunei. The vessel is surrounded by local boats. Van Noort’s account mentions upwards of one hundred native proas clustered around him as he set anchor on 1st January 1601. His account of the area is only second to Pigafetta

    Van Noort voyage was primarily to set to against the Spanish. It was a mistake as the Spanish came after him and his flagship was sunk and quite a few of his crew captured and executed. When he returned to Rotterdam he had only 48 crew out of 248 and one ship left the Mauritius. But he was the first Dutch circumnavigator and he did have this map.
