About the Item

Antique map titled 'Itinera Varia Auctoris'. Very interesting map of Great Britain and Northern Europe. The map shows Edwards' journeys between 1716-1730 to study his beloved birds and other natural creatures, including Holland in 1716 and again in 1730, Norway in 1718, and France from 1719-1721. The North Sea is filled with illustrations of a beak of the Egyptian Ibis, life size male and female stag beetles from Borneo and in lower right the Least Hummingbird of Jamaica. This fascinating map was drawn by artist, naturalist, and ornithologist George Edwards (1694-1773) and was published in his A Natural History of Uncommon Birds (1743-51), a four-volume work featuring more than 200 stunning bird engravings based on Edwards' original drawings. Edwards' publication was immediately popular, and was subsequently republished in several editions. The map shows Edwards' journeys between 1716-1730 to study his beloved birds and other natural creatures, including Holland in 1716 and again in 1730, Norway in 1718, and France from 1719-21.
