Willem Janszoon Blaeu: Tractus Danubii, Fluminis In Europa Maximi, A Fontius, Per Germaniam Et Hungariam, Belgradum Usque [Rare Section of Blaeu Wall Map]
Title: Tractus Danubii, Fluminis In Europa Maximi, A Fontius, Per Germaniam Et Hungariam, Belgradum Usque [Rare Section of Blaeu Wall Map] Map Maker: Willem Janszoon Blaeu
Description: Extremely rare map of the course of the Danube, from the Swart Walt (Black Forest) to Belgrade. The map was issued in the 1634 German edition of Blaeu's Atlas Novus, the first edition of this atlas. In his haste to get to market, Blaeu utilized fragments from a number of his most famous wall maps and separately issued maps and also included proof states of a number of other maps. This present map includes a pasted down title at the top and false left neatline, both of which were pasted on to this two sheet wall map fragment from one of Blaeu's separately issued regional wall maps of Europe. We have been able to track only one prior example of the map on the market (Tooley Adams, June 1986). A rare and important map of the Danube region in very nice condition. No text on the verso, but offered with 4 sheets of printed text which preceded the map in the atlas.
