23.01.2022 North Italy, 1704 Map Makers: Johannes Blaeu, Pierre Mortier Published: Amsterdam, 1705... Pieter (1661 1711) and David Mortier were brothers of French extraction whose publishing interests in Amsterdam covered a wide field embracing French and English works as well as Dutch. Pieter was probably trained in the bookselling business in Paris, and David, spent many years in England; in fact, he acquired British nationality and died there in about 1728. After Pieters death, his widow continued the business until their son, Cornelis, was able to take over; then, in 1721, Cornelis entered into partnership with his brother-in-law, Johannes Covens, to form the famous name Covens and Mortier, a firm which continued in being, with slight change of name until the middle of the nineteenth century. Johannes Blaeu published, during his life three town-books of Italy; Citta del Vaticano, Roma and Napoli. The fire of 1672 largely destroyed the main Blaeu workshop in Gravenstraat, Amsterdam, and much of the prepared material., However, even though Blaeu died the following year, work on the town-books continued, and in 1682 the completed work was published in Amsterdam by his heirs. The town-book was a great success and reissued several times by different publishers in Amsterdam, as late as 1726. Pierre Mortier re-issued all the Blaeu plates for the town book in the years 1704/05 (after acquiring them when the Blaeu firm finally closed in 1695) in an atlas comprising of four volumes. The plates were now signed a Amsterdam chez Pierre Mortier and we can assume that this map may have been part of another early atlas, Atlas Nouveau, published by Mortier around the same time, as he himself died in 1711. #rare #raremap #antiqueprint #westernaustralia #mortier #art #rareart #collections #trowbridgegallery #map #artgallery #1704 #1700s #instadecor #antiquebooklover #historic #vivovintage_world #oldmap #interior4you #almostperfect_vintage #joannesjansson #italianhistory #collectableart #italy #cartography #amsterdam #history #worldhistory

16.01.2022 Plate 18 Artist: Eugene Seguy Published: Paris, 1930... This original pochoir print by Eugene Alain Seguy and was published in Paris 1930. Seguy produced eleven albums of exquisite illustrations and designs from the turn of the century to the 1930s, and his style reflected the influences of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco.His various colour portfolios of visual ideas for artists and designers featured motifs based on the natural world, including flowers, foliage, crystals and animals and insects and butterflies. The prints in the portfolios were produced using the pochoir technique characterized by rich, intense color.This printing process, utilized in the early 20th century for high quality prints, involved applying each colour to each plate with a number of stencils, the precursor to the modern technique of screen printing which artists use today.

15.01.2022 Balearic Isles 1650 Map maker: Joannes Jansson Expanded title: Insvlae Balerides et Pytivase - Decorative map of the Balearic Islands: Majorca, Minorca, showing the adjoining Spanish coastline ... Published: Amsterdam, 1650 Johannes Jannson (1588-1664) was born in Arnhem where his father was a bookseller and publisher. In 1612 he married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, the cartographer and publisher and established his own business in Amsterdam as a book publisher. He produced his first maps in 1616 and subsequently he produced a enormous amount of maps, perhaps not rivalling the Blaeu family running a very close second in quantity and quality. From 1630 to 1638 he went into partnership with his brother in law Henricus Hondius, issuing further editions of the Mercator/Hondius Atlases to which his name was added. On the death of Henricus he took over the business expanding the Atlas still further, eventually publishing an 11 volume Atlas Major in 1662, on a scale similar to Blaeus Atlas Major.

Joseph Antoine Bruny-dEntrecasteaux was born ain Aix-en-Provence in 1739 and died at sea in 1793. He entered the marine service at the age of 15, and soon won praise for his work as a hydrographer. He became governor of the islands of Mauritius and Bourbon. Later in 1791 he was put in charge of the expedition to search for la Perouse. During his voyage he explored, mapped and named many places on the coast of Australia. Baie de la Recherche, Port dlEsperance, Detroit dEntrecasteaux etc. The atlas Atlas du Voyage de dEntrecasteaux Envoye a la Recherche de la Perouse was published in Paris in 1807, 1808. The charts prepared for DEntrecasteaux mostly by Beautemps-Beaupre were of a very high quality and Matthew Flinders, the English explorer and hydrographer calling them the finest specimens of marine survey. The contribution made by DEntrecasteaux to the mapping of the southern coast of Australia was considerable.
