Mercator / Hondius: Antique Map of North Pole with Gold

Item Details

Description

Title: SEPTENTRIONALIUM Terrarum descriptio. Per Gerardum Mercatore. 1623 Mercator & Hondius North Pole heightened in gold and filled with cartographic myths

Map maker: Gerard Mercator & Jocodus Hondius

Place and Year: Amsterdam, 1623

Dimensions: 36.5 x 39 cm (14.4 x 15.4 in)

Technique: Copperplate engraving

Coloring: Hand colored

Condition Rating: VG

This is the first map devoted to the Arctic, hemispherical with a North Polar projection and surrounded by an attractive floral design. Among the numerous cartographic myths depicted on the map are: the Rupes Negra, the island of Frisland, the Straight of Anian, Lake Conibas, and more. In the corners are four roundels, one of this contains the title, the other three contain maps of the Faeroe Isles, the Shetland Isles and Frisland. Recent attempts at finding the North West and North East Passages are depicted. The results of Frobisher's and Davis attempts are recorded.

California is labeled (Califormia) and is described as Spanish territory. With 't Behouden huys' engraved near Nova Zembla. Verso text: Latin. Second state; the date is determined by the signature N below the word Omnes at the bottom of the second page on the verso.

Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) was a cartographer renowned for creating a world map based on a new projection which represented sailing courses of constant bearing as straight lines - an innovation that simplified navigation.
