Two Charts of The English Channel, Each Adorned with Nice Compass Roses, ca.1700

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Hydrographia Canalis Marini Inter Angliam et Galiiam de Fluentis.' Sheet with with two charts of the English Channel, each adorned with beautiful compass roses. The lower chart is inset with a tiny map of the region between Angers and Paris. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and engravers: Made by 'Heinrich Scherer' after an anonymous artist. 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.
