This beautiful hand-colored map is from Mons. D'Anville's "A Complete Body of Ancient Geography". D'Anville was a member of the Royal Academy of Belles-Lettres, of the Academy of Sciences at Petersburg, and Secretary to the Great Duke of Orleans.

This landmark map by Hondius, incorporated the influence of Mercator along with the latest information, and became a pattern for cartographers to follow. Initially engraved and published by Jodocus Hondius, this map was trimmed, and republished by his son Henrico in 1636. This map influenced a generation of cartographers who studied and reproduced this map in their own works, such as Merian and Janson. The map itself shows us an intricately detailed view of the new world, with a substantively accurate South America and a North America that still contained a severe distortion of the western coast. Insets show us the theorized nature of the North Pole and the fabled contours of a supposed South Pole. The oceans abound with dramatically illustrated masted ships and numerous sea monsters. Handsome strap work surrounds the title block, as well as the map insets. Two small vignettes in the interior of South America appear to show us Europeans meeting an native king, and in Brazil, a small party of cannibals. This is a map of the western hemisphere full of the legend, speculation and wonder of the time.

Sea nymphs carry the distance gauge. This is a stunning and uncommon map.
