"Typus Geographicus Chili a Paraguay Freti Magellanici &&&"

Originally hand-colored copper etching.

Published by the heirs of Johann Baptist Homann.

Nuremberg, 1733

This map of the southern portion of South America goes back to a publication

by Guillaume de L'Isle (1675-1726). His map was adopted by the heirs of Johann Baptist Homann and published by them in 1733. Map reaches from just north of the Tripic of Capricorn to Tierra del Fuego (Fire Land) and clearly shows the passage way of Magellan. Map goes out west into the South Pacific including the islands of St. Ambrosio and St. Felix (Chile) as well as the Juan Fernandez Islands Archipelago (Chile). East of the South American continent we see the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas). And in the lower right corner of the map we have the "Paln de la Ville de SantiagoÉ" with a legend of prominent city sights. Draw a line from Arica (Chile) on the Pacific to the Archipelago of dos Abrolhos on the Atlantic and you have the northernmost places shown on this map. Neighboring San Sebastian (Brazil) we see the Bay of Rio de Janeiro. The southern part of Brazil and Bolivia as well as all of Paraguay, Uruguay, Is it the Hharvesting of salt which we see at the bottom of the boroque title cartouche? Argentina and Chile we find on this attractive map.

The original hand coloring as well as the impression is very nice. There are some traces of age and use: Water stains in margins, pencil underlinings below some place names and some light spotting in margins and in the Atlantic and Pacific. Actually this is an attractive and decorative map. Reverse side has no print.

"Die neuwen Inseln so hinder Hispanien gegen Orient bey dem land Indie ligen"

Early map of the Americas. Woodcut published in "Cosmographia" by Sebastian Munster (1488-1552).

This woodcut is from a German edition of the "Cosmographia"

printed in Basel, 1553.

"The "New World", still oddly shaped before mapping got more precise. We have to realize, that the discovery of America was just about half a century before this map was carved into a woodblock and published. But that's the charm of very early map making! In the Caribbean Sea some of the islands were already named and placed fairly accurately: Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola. Sciana (now Puerto Rico) carries the pennant of Spain. On the North American (US)-mainland we have only Florida named and shown much larger than the State of Florida comprises in modern times.

For the first time on a map the Pacific Ocean is named as such: Mare pacificum. While South America is definitely recognizable (even the Magellan Strait is mapped), the West Coast of North America is totally undiscovered. An interesting marginal note is the placing and naming of Japan. Japan is shown as one island quite near to North America and iras name is "Zipangri". Name and placement were taken from a globe produced by Johannes Schoener, which is a precious piece of art at the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg.

Condition: Woodcut has typical but new hand coloring. There is general light age toning. Margins all around show traces of age and use. Lower margin has reinforcements for no obvious reasons, applied probably centuries ago. A slightly visible crease through the Atlantic in lower right corner. Considering the age of the print, it condition is much better than good.

Engraver: Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724)

Published separately in Nuremberg, ca. 1697

Map is embellished with indigenous animals of North America, Slave punishment, a battle scene of natives in Brazil, rich sail ship traffic on Atlantic and Pacific, a vague coast line idea of Australia. California is depicted as an island. This map is an early witness of J.B. Homann's mastership in map etching, which, in 1723, he had turned into a profitable business as he produced his famous atlas. Both, Sandrart and Homann were at the crest of German map makers as the center of gravity with regard to map making shifted from Amsterdam to Nuremberg and Augsburg.
