HOMANN, John Baptiste (1664-1724).

Engraved map with original hand color in part.
Nuremberg, c. 1720.
20 3/4" x 23 7/8" sheet.
Comparable: Swann, 2000 - $4,600.
This is one of the most decorative eighteenth century world maps. The two hemispheres are surrounded by vivid engravings of natural phenomena such as waterspouts, a rainbow, earthquakes, and a volcano. Wind heads occupy the starry heavens, and two putti hold the title banner aloft. The map itself shows a typical geographical view of the period. California is shown as an island.
