Intriguing Antique Map of Europe, the Middle East and Africa by Scherer, c.1703
About the Item
Antique map depicting part of Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Also showing various cities in the lower chart. Printed for Scherer's 'Atlas Novus' (1702-1710).
Artists and Engravers: Heinrich Scherer (1628-1704) was a Professor of Hebrew, Mathematics and Ethics at the University of Dillingen until about 1680. Thereafter he obtained important positions as Official Tutor to the Royal Princes of Mantua and Bavaria. It was during his time in Munich as Tutor to the Princely house of Bavaria that his lifetime’s work as a cartographer received acclaim and recognition. Scherer’s world atlas, the Atlas Novus, first published in Munich between 1702 and 1710 and reissued in a second edition between 1730 and 1737, forms a singularly unusual, almost revolutionary work in terms of the development of European mapmaking at the beginning of the 18th Century.
Condition: Very good. General age-related toning. Please study image carefully.
Date: c.1703
Overall size: 21 x 27 cm.
