Description
Français : Atlas der wereld, de Jan Barend Elwe; publié à Amsterdam en 1792. Reliure en demi-veau de l'époque sur cartons marbrés. Avec ornementation et titre dorés au dos. Collation - Folio : 22 pages, 40 feuillets de planches. Composé d'un texte typographique, d'une page de titre gravée, de 37 cartes, d'une chronologie et d'un tableau des distances pour l'Europe. La couverture géographique comprend l'Europe, la Russie, le Moyen-Orient, la Terre Sainte, l'Asie de l'Est et du Sud-Est, l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Nord et l'Amérique du Sud. Les cartes montrent les continents, les pays, les régions, les villes, les églises, les chemins de fer, la topographie, les déserts, les plans d'eau, le drainage, les côtes, les îles et les routes d'exploration. Avec des vignettes picturales de personnages, de faune et de flore. Cet atlas historique dans lequel Elwe a réédité des cartes de De L'Isle, Ottens, Jaillot et d'autres cartographes du XVIIe siècle a poursuivi la tradition de cartographie franco-néerlandaise du XVIIe siècle bien après qu'elle ait été éclipsée par les cartographes anglais du XVIIIe siècle. L'ouvrage est un serre-livre intrigant sur une tradition cartographique - "l'âge d'or de la cartographie" - qui a façonné une grande partie du monde moderne.
English: Atlas der wereld, by Jan Barend Elwe; published in Amsterdam, 1792. Bound in contemporary half-calf over marbled paper boards. With gilt ornamentation and title on spine. Collation - Folio: 22 pages, 40 leaves of plates. Comprised of letterpress text, an engraved title page, 37 maps, one timeline and one table of distances for Europe. Geographic coverage includes Europe, Russia, the Middle East, the Holy Land, East and Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and South America. Maps show continents, countries, regions, cities, churches, railways, topography, deserts, bodies of water, drainage, coastlines, islands and routes of exploration. With pictorial vignettes of figures, fauna and flora. This historical atlas in which Elwe re-issued maps by De L’Isle, Ottens, Jaillot, and other 17th-century cartographers continued the 17th-century Franco-Dutch mapmaking tradition long after it had been eclipsed by the 18th-century English mapmakers. The work is an intriguing bookend on a cartographic tradition - “the golden age of cartography” - that shaped much of the modern world.
