JOHANN BAPTIST HOMANN (1664-1724)
[Kleiner Atlas von Fünfzig Auserlesenen Hommans Land-Charten, edited by John Hübner. Nuremberg: J.B. Homann, c. 1740]. 2º (516 x 315mm). 48 hand-coloured, double-page engraved maps (of 50 called for on the contents leaf). Extra-illustrated with the title-page to Homann’s Atlas novus terrarum orbis imperia after Caspar Luycken, and with 13 hand-coloured maps and plates by Tobias Conrad Lotter, Matthäus Albrecht Lotter, Matthäus Seutter and William Faden, all but the last double-page. (Lacking the title and two maps -- Deutschland and Holstein, heavy dampstaining and soiling, crude repairs to map versos, map of Mayland affected by mould, repairs to text margins, I2 of text crudely repaired.) Modern calf-backed cloth preserving old patterned endpapers.
A little known Homann atlas including his world map and the four continents. Among the additional maps are M.A. Lotter’s Mappemonde (Augsburg, 1778), which is both double-page and folding (soiling and staining mainly marginal), and Carte nouvelle de l’Amerique Angloise (cartouche somewhat affected by damp and with underlining in coloured crayon). A small Faden map of North America, Die Vereinigten Staaten von Nord America [1783 or later], is tipped onto the larger one. T.C. Lotter’s contributions include the Carte de l’Ocean Pacifique au Nord de l’Equateur (Augsburg, c. 1781), a plan of Berlin, and three plates showing mileage distances, celestial globes and armillary spheres. The atlas sold as viewed, not subject to return.
