Description
One of the finest and most famous world maps to appear in an atlas during the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. State 1, does not include the signature "Ja. vanden Ende sculpsit." Shirley says "possibly a proof". This first state bears the name "Gul. Jansonius 1606" and Terra del Fuego connected to the southern continent.
Jacob Le Maire and Willem Schouten discovered the strait in 1616, while attempting to find a navigation link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and shortly before their discovery of Cape Horn. The strait was named in honor of Le Maire.
Willem Blaeu updated in state 3 the map and Terra del Fuego is now an island and Fretum le Maire has been added.
Willem Janszoon, adopted the name Blaeu to avoid confusion with Jan Janszoon and altered his own name around 1621.
Exceptionally rare, Prof. Gunter Schilder notes in Monumenta Cartographica only 3 examples.
The paneled borders show, at the top allegorical representations of the sun, moon and the five known planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The four seasons and the four elements are depicted at each side and - along the bottom corner - seven vignettes showing the Seven Wonders of the World. Rodney Shirley writes It is celebrated as one of the supreme examples of the map maker's art... .
THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST STATE. The states can be determined as follows:
- State 1. The image does not include the signature "Ja. vanden Ende sculpsit." to the lower left of the South Pole projection. Shirley says "possibly a proof".
- State 2. With signature of Josua van den Ende: "Ja. vanden Ende sculpsit"
- State 3. As state 2, but Terra del Fuego is now an island and Fretum le Maire has been added. Probably issued in 1617, as a companion map of Europe bears this date.
- State 4: "Gul. Jansonius 1606" removed and replaced with "Guil. Blaeuw". "Gulielmus Janssonius" replaced with "Gulielmus Blaeuw".
- State 5: Confusingly, this final state, unrecorded by Shirley, adds back the connection between Terra del Fuego and the Southern Continent and some of the coastline erased in the third state.
The geographic content is identical to that of the 1606/07 wall map. Because of the smaller size of the folio map, fewer toponyms are given and the number of legends has also been reduced. The centre of North America is taken up by a large oval cartouche containing a Latin text, here in translation: 'America. First discovered in A.D. 1492 by Christopher Colombus in the name of the king of Castille and given the name by Amerigo Vespucci in 1499'. The following legend, here in translation, is inserted in the area to the east of Novaya Zemlya: 'Novaya Zemlya. Discovered in 1596 by Willem Barentszoon from Amsterdam in the name of the States General of the Netherlands'.
