1825 Vandermaelen Map of the Curacao, Aruba -- Amer. Sep. Curacao No. 74.
Description
  • Title:1825 Vandermaelen Map of the Curacao, Aruba -- Amer. Sep. Curacao No. 74.
  • Cartographer: P Vandermaelen
  • Year/Place:1825-7, Paris
  • Map Dimensions:18 X 21.1 in.
  • Description:This is an interesting, larger map of Curacao, Oruba ou Aruba, and Buen-Ayre (Bonair), along with a bit of the coastline of Columbia. Approximately 15 place names are located on Curacao. One of the few commercial maps of the early 19th Century to show Curacao with any real detail. The large inset discusses Haiti. This map is from the Atlas Universel which contained 400 maps in six volumes. It was the first atlas made up of lithographed maps, and the first to present all the maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836), with each map covering an area of approximately 8 degrees longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. If all the maps were joined together they would form a globe of 7.75 meters in diameter. The maps were published by subscription between 1825 and 1827. There was only one edition and the subscription list shows that 810 copies were sold; thus the maps are quite rare.
