Antique Print of the Death of Emperor Cubo at Kyoto, Japan, ca. 1725
About the Item
Antique print titled 't Vermoorden vande Keyser Cubus. / Massacre de l'Empereur Cubo, dans Meaco.' Engraving of the killing of Emperor Cubo at Kyoto, Japan. The city Kyoto was known by the name Miako by the Dutch, which means 'the seat of the Imperial palace'. Extremely rare in this edition. This plate originates from the very scarse: 'La Galerie Agreable du Monde (...). Tome premier des Indes Orientales.', published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725. This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, Meurs, Montanus, Dapper, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced. It is said that only 100 copies were printed. Ref: Koeman Aa9; Phillips 2780 note. This map is printed from an original re-worked plate, which was originally published in 'Gedenkwaerdige gesantschappen der Oost-Indische Maatschappy in 't Vereenigde Nederland, aan de Kaisaren van Japan.' by Arnoldus Montanus, 1669.
