Cadiz Island: A Framed 17th Century Hand-colored Map from Blaeu's Atlas Major
By Joan (Johannes) Blaeu
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a 17th century hand-colored map entitled "Insula Gaditana Isla de Cadiz" from Johannes (Joan) Blaeu's Atlas Maior, published in Amsterdam in 1662.
The map provides an excellent plan of Cadiz Island on the southwest coast of Spain, with its harbor, fortifications, agricultural fields and several surrounding salt processing areas. Numerous sailing ships of various sizes are included in and around the harbor and bay, including five large sailing ships, as well as twenty-four smaller ships. There is a small compass rose overlying the bay. The bridge to the mainland from the island is shown on the right. There is an extremely ornate and colorful title cartouche in the lower left, with its mythological figures reminiscent of Raphael’s Galatea fresco at the Villa Farnesina in Rome. The vibrant colors are vividly preserved. The master colorist tried to emulate a painting by using various tones to create a three-dimensional effect.
Blaeu's name is present in the plate in the lower right. Blaeu stated in his description of Cadiz: “The main wealth of the islanders consists of salt, which they harvest, and
the tuna fisheries.”
This 17th century hand-colored map is framed in an ornate, partially textured bronze-colored wood frame and glazed with UV protected conservation glass. There is a vertical center fold, as issued. There is a faint crease in the lower right and faint color offset on the left from the right side of the map, resulting from having been in an atlas for hundreds of years. Small foci of paint are present in the upper portion of the left margin and in the left corner margin. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
Due in large part to their powerful trade empire, the Dutch became known for cartography in the seventeenth century. This period is considered the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. Their publishing houses produced the highest quality work in Europe, particularly those maps and charts of foreign lands, and Dutch map-making set the bar for cartographic accuracy and artistry into the early-eighteenth century. Some of the most well-known cartographers worked in Amsterdam during this period. Perhaps the most famous of these was the Blaeu family. Willem Janszoon Blaeu, set up shop in Amsterdam. His son, Johannes (Joan), succeeded him upon his death in 1638, continuing in his father’s position as Hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company and selling maps to the public. The Blaeu map presses, located near Amsterdam’s Dam Square...

Set of World & Four Continents
By Joan (Johannes) Blaeu
Located in London, GB
BLAEU, Johannes.
[Set of World & Four Continents from the 'Atlas Major']
Nova et Accuratissima Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula; Americæ nova Tabula; Asia noviter delineata; Africæ nova descriptio; Europa recens descripta.
Amsterdam, n.d. [c. 1650].
Set of 5 hand-coloured double-page engraved maps, centre fold as issued, with cartouches for the titles and dedication, Latin text on verso; sheet size: 49 x 60 cm. Framed and glazed, overall size: 61 x 75 x 2 cm.
A fine set of five maps from the most expensive book published in the 17th century, an eleven-volume atlas containing 593 hand-coloured maps. The highly decorative borders have allegorical figures of the known planets along the top, lateral borders of the Four Elements and the Four Seasons, and the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World along the bottom. Each of the continents has lateral borders of native dress and nine city prospects along the top.
Blaeu's set of the World & Continents are perhaps the most decorative and cartographically accurate of all sets published in the 17th Century. Blaeu's work set the standard for other map makers during the Golden Age of Cartography, characterised by fine engraving, high quality paper and fine geographical detail. His map of the world is one of the earliest maps to utilize the Mercator Projection, which allowed mariners in the open sea to make practical use of maps. The map of the World is embellished with allegorical representations of the 4 seasons and 4 elements in the side panels, the 7 wonders of the Ancient World at the bottom and representations of the Classical Planets, moon and sun at the top. The maps of the 4 continents...
