Description

Spectacular large format map of America, featuring California as an Island and a projection of the Mississippi pushed far to the west, with the mouth of the River near the Rio Grande. Exceptional and unusually detailed rendition of the Great Lakes. The map also includes a number of annotations. The projection of South America is also unusally wide for the period. The cartouche features a wonderful Indian Village scene and is truly one of the most decorative and well engraved illustrations of the time. An exceptionally strong impression, with full clean wide margins. A truly stunning large format map.

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.
