Engraved title and 19 numbered plates by Theodore Galle and Hans Collaert after Jan van der Straet. (Small marginal tears or holes to title and plates 1, 2, 8, 13 and 15 repaired; skilful repairs to tears 110 mm and smaller to pls. 11, 14 and 16, some marginal finger-soiling.) Later marbled boards, red morocco gilt label on front cover (slightly rubbed). FIRST EDITION. The title is illustrated with small pictures of the inventions and discoveries which are depicted in more detail in the first ten plates. The last nine plates may have been an afterthought, as they are not included on the title-page. No separate title-page for these nine is recorded. The plates depict: Columbus landing in the Americas, an observatory, a gun-foundry, a printing press, a clock-maker's, medical care, a distillery, silk-manufacture, a farrier's, a water-mill, wind-mills, an oil-press, a sugar-factory, a painter's studio, an optician's, ship-navigation, an armory, an astrolabe demonstrated by Amerigo Vespucci, and a copperplate engraver's. Hollstein calls for another plate, making 20 in all, although the BM catalogue and Sabin only describe a total of 19. Hollstein 410-429; Sabin 92666 and 92667. [Bound with:]STRAET, Jan van der. Americae Retectio. [Antwerp]: Phillipe Galle, [1585?]. 4 engraved plates by Adrian Collaert after van der Straet, pls. 1 and 4 numbered. (Repairs to upper right corner of pls. 1 and 3, not affecting image, some margins renewed, one crossing plate mark slightly, some slight marginal soiling.) FIRST EDITION. The first plate shows a large central globe with America and Europe, supported by Flora, Janus and Oceanus, with medallion portraits of Columbus and Vespucci, a sea-god with the shield of Genoa in a chariot drawn by hippocamps next to Columbus, and a soldier with the shield of Florence in a chariot drawn by lions next to Vespucci. Below is shown the Mediterranean coastline, with both Florence and Genoa depicted. Plates 2-4 show Amerigo Vespucci, Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan respectively, each aboard their ships on the voyage to the New World, surrounded by sea-nymphs, monsters and other wonders. Sabin 92665.
