Description

Scarce map of Florida, the Gulf Coast, Cuba and Jamaica based upon the voyages of Franciscus de Garay and other contemporary work. The map shows the Mississippi flowing into the Gulf of Mexico considerably west of its true location. There are a number of early settlements showing in Florida, Alabama and Missisisippi, along with excellent detail in Cuba and the Yucatan. The map does not incorporate the work of Bisente and is still based largely on the projections of the Gulf Coast pioneered on maps such as Giovanni Battista Nicolosi's maps of 1660. A wonderful example of Vander Aa's scarce map of the Gulf Coast. Rich full coloring.

Pieter van der Aa Biography

Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733) was a Dutch mapmaker and publisher who printed pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated books, but is best known for his voluminous output of maps and atlases. Van der Aa was born to a German stonecutter from Holstein. Interestingly, all three van der Aa sons came to be involved in the printing business. Hildebrand was a copper engraver and Boudewyn was a printer.
