Wells' world map with California an Island 1700

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Wells, Edward
Title: A New Map of the Terraqueous Globe according to the Ancient Discoveries and most general Divisions of it into Continents and Oceans
Place Published: London
Publisher:
Date Published: 1700
Description:

Copper-engraved map, later hand coloring. 37x51 cm (14¼x20").

Attractive double hemisphere map showing California as an Island. This is one of a pair of maps Wells included in his atlas - this one depicting the world as known to the ancients. North America is noted as perhaps being "no other, than the Insular Atlantis of the Ancients." The map is surrounded by engraved scenes including the royal coat of arms and a dedication to His Highness William, Duke of Gloucester who was attending Oxford where Wells was a teacher of mathematics and geography and who appears with his tutor under the tree on the right. On either side of the dedication are small landscapes, one of ships arriving in the New World and one of the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. Engraved by Michael Burghers.

Condition

Some edge wear and minor creasing, neat repair along centerfold, very good.
