It was an excellent example of the woodcut process, employing the common technique of supplying the place names by means of metal types inserted into the woodblock. These names could easily be interchanged as needed for editions in different languages, and states of the map appeared in Latin, German, French, and others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMunster presented a remarkably advanced outline of the American continents, especially considering that less than fifty years had elapsed since the first voyage of Columbus. He depicted the New World as one landmass and confirmed Waldseemuller's christening of the continents after Vespucci by appending the name \"American\" in South America. He clearly had firsthand reports of recent explorations at his disposal, and his delineation of North America followed closely the exemplar of Giovanni da Verrazzano after his voyage of 1524. The Italian navigator, when sailing off the coast of what is now the Outer Banks of North Carolina, mistook Pamlico Sound for the Pacific ocean, a tantalizingly short distance across a narrow neck of land. This so-called Sea of Verrazzno was shown by Munster nearly cutting North America in two, and in turn opened into a mythical strait connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific. This depiction, along with the place names \"Francisca\" and \"Terra Florida,\" apportioning the continent between the French and the Spanish, appeared here on a printed map for perhaps the first time and must have contributed substantially to the wide currency of Verrazzano's ideas. Munster also knew definitely of Magellan's discoveries since he appended that explorer's name to the straits south of the mainland. Although Munster presented a good delineation of the Gulf of Mexico, he mistakenly showed Tucatan as island, and his rendering of Temistitan (Tenoxtitlan, or Mexico City) gave it an erroneous connection with the Gulf. Interior details to the north were nonexistent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMunster interestingly combined the factual material he had at hand with the folklore and myth he must have derived in part from Solinus. The \"Regio gigantum\" (region of the giants) in South America, the archipelago of 7,448 islands near Japan, and the depiction of the cannibal's hut complete with dismembered leg are all examples of this influence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMunster's map of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was probably the single most widely distributed map of America at the time.

A close look at the work of a series of Venetian armchair travelers (editors, mapmakers, and designers of costume books) reveals the profound anxieties these authors expressed about Venice's changing status in early modern Europe. Once an unassailable maritime and territorial empire, the lagoon city was increasingly eclipsed in the sixteenth century, economically and culturally, by the Ottomans and other emerging European powers. In response, Venetian writers employed the cultural strategy of using images of the New World to assert the importance of the Venetian past. Such images served to assuage their insecurities and shore up images of Venetian superiority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLittle is known about Giulio Ballino, Italian humanist and scholar who compiled the work and wrote the text. He was an associate of Paolo Manuzio (1512-1574), who mentions him in correspondence in the 1560s as working for him in various capacities, including corrector and editor. Ballino's literary activity was primarily as a popularizer, translating many Greek philosophical and theological works into Italian. Printer and publisher Bolognino Zaltieri used the plates of several different engravers throughout the book, such as plans by Paolo Forlani (active 1560-1577) and Domenico Zenoi (active 1560-1580).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Maps of Texas","offers":[{"title":"Default

Colton Company in 1831. Though he did not come from a cartographic or engraving background, Colton licensed copyrights from other cartographers such as David H. Burr and Samuel Stiles, producing quality reprints with additional engraving and border detail. After ten years of operating with this business model, Colton branched out to produce original maps, and by the 1850s had grown his company into a booming cartographic firm. Though the Colton Company published a variety of cartographic materials such as guidebooks and atlases, it is perhaps best known for its railroad maps. Distinguished by their elaborate decorative borders, Colton maps were printed using engraved steel plates which, though more costly than wax engravings, produced higher-quality images. These maps were then hand-colored by watercolor artists, resulting in slight irregularities which reflect the documents’ unique history and individualized production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNotable moments in Colton’s career include winning a high-profile lawsuit against the government of Bolivia, by whom he had been hired to produce some 2,500 maps of the region in 1857.

A few years later in 1898, the brothers went into business with August R. Ohman, renaming the firm again to Colton, Ohman, \u0026amp; Co. This relationship lasted until 1901 when the Coltons left the company and Ohman took over in full, subsequently dropping the Colton name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33996433555595,"sku":"306033","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/oregonwashingtoncaliforniautahnewmexicoColton.jpg?v=1628176388"},{"product_id":"nebraska-dakota-idaho-montana-wyoming-johnson-1865","title":"Johnson's Nebraska, Dakota, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming: Johnson 1865","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eJohnson's Nebraska, Dakota, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e A.

He worked for both companies, teaching the art of navigation and helping to maintain their collections of hydrographic manuscripts and charts, some of which included Spanish portolans (nautical charts) of the West Indies. In the mid-1660s, assisted by his access to these collections, he became the first Dutch cartographer to publish a set of large scale navigational charts of the North American coastline and West Indies. Later, he would publish similar charts detailing the coast of West Africa. Many of Roggeveen's maps are based upon the earlier work of Hessel Gerritsz (1581 - 1632) and Joan Vingboons (1616 - 1670), both cartographers for the Dutch East and West India Companies; however, Roggeveen was the first to show the whole coastline of both North America and the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34076037382283,"sku":"233093","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/233093Coastofthewestindies1680Antiquemapoldmapoldmapsantiquemapsvintagemapseuropeanmapsamericanmapsdecorativemapsoldcartographymapmakers.jpg?v=1619730192"},{"product_id":"new-england-new-belgium-and-virginia-jansson-1639","title":"Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia: Jansson 1639","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eNova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eJan Jansson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e1639\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium: \u003c\/strong\u003eHand-colored copperplate engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood - wear along issued center fold, foxing and uneven toning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInches: \u003c\/strong\u003e21 x 16 1\/4 [Image]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentimeters: \u003c\/strong\u003e53.34 x 41.2 [Image]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID: \u003c\/strong\u003e222004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis influential map is derived from a less-well-circulated 1630 chart by Johanes de Laet.  Enlarged, and expanded to the north and east slightly, it carries de Laet's narrative on the reverse.

A sign of the Dutch influence here is that both atlas producers largely declined to include the advanced cartography of Champlain, thereby relegating it altogether. Here Janssonius differs from Hondius' \u003cem\u003eAMERICA SEPTENTRIONALIS \u003c\/em\u003ein his delineation of the Great Lakes area. The extension northwards enables him to encapsulate \u003cem\u003eGrand Lac\u003c\/em\u003e, something de  Laet did not do.

In 1647 Janssonius alters the title to match that of Blaeu, to give greater prominence to the Dutch colonies. He also draws on Blaeu for the design of the cartouche, the Indian village scene and much of the wildlife depicted. The nomenclature is unchanged. A third state appeared following the auction of the copperplates in 1694, acquired by Petrus Schenk from the heirs of Jansson van Waesberge.

Blaeu studied under Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, one of the major figures in the history of modern astronomy. After returning to the Low Countries from Denmark in the late 1590s, Blaeu set up shop as a cartographer and globe maker. He produced numerous atlases, and in 1633 became the official mapmaker of the Dutch East India Company, the megacorporation which, thanks to Dutch naval prowess, controlled the seventeenth-century global economy. Numerous depictions of Blaeu maps appear in the work of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age.

They established a relationship with the Chicago Tribune’s predecessor, soon taking over its printing operation in full. Eventually, in 1868 Rand, McNally, and Rand’s nephew George Amos Poole bought out the Tribune and founded Rand, McNally \u0026amp; Co. Now with significant printing experience under their belt, the three men embarked on several publishing endeavors, capitalizing on the massive success of Chicago’s railroad industry by printing tickets, timetables, and railroad guides. Rand, McNally \u0026amp; Co.’s cartographic enterprise began as an offshoot of their existing publishing business; it was not until 1872 that the company printed its first map, a wax engraving that appeared in the company’s December Railroad Guide.

The Southern Pacific Company was founded in San Francisco in 1865 by a group of businessmen led by Timothy Phelps, but it's origins lie in an earlier railroad system constructed by the Houston and Texas Central Railway. That company was chartered in 1848 by Ebenezer Allen of Galveston, but did not become active until 1852 when ground was broken by Paul Bremond and Thomas William House. The Railroad gradually expanded throughout Texas, reaching Austin and Corsicana in 1871 and Dallas in 1872. In 1873, the Railroad was linked with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad \"to form the first all-rail route from Texas to St. Louis and the East\" (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tshaonline.org\/handbook\/online\/articles\/eqh09\"\u003eTSHA Online\u003c\/a\u003e). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003eOn the map's reverse are time tables and rates for various routes and services.

Linking New Orleans to Los Angeles, the Sunset Route was one of only three transcontinental rail routes. As the southernmost route (the others starting in Chicago and St. Louis), it was the only reliable all-season option. The Sunset Limited stills runs today, making it the oldest named train in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis map was creating using the wax engraving process, which involved engraving an image onto an extremely thin layer of wax.

The wax engraving method was widely used for map printing in the U.

Burr and Samuel Stiles, producing quality reprints with additional engraving and border detail. After ten years of operating with this business model, Colton branched out to produce original maps, and by the 1850s had grown his company into a booming cartographic firm. Though the Colton Company published a variety of cartographic materials such as guidebooks and atlases, it is perhaps best known for its railroad maps. Distinguished by their elaborate decorative borders, Colton maps were printed using engraved steel plates which, though more costly than wax engravings, produced higher-quality images. These maps were then hand-colored by watercolor artists, resulting in slight irregularities which reflect the documents’ unique history and individualized production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNotable moments in Colton’s career include winning a high-profile lawsuit against the government of Bolivia, by whom he had been hired to produce some 2,500 maps of the region in 1857.
