Gabriel Doppelmayr Atlas novus coelestis in quo mundus spectabilis, et in eodem tam errantium quam inerrantium stellarum phoenomena notabilia, crica ipsarum lumen. Nuremberg: Homann Heirs, 1742 Folio (540 x 340mm.), additional engraved allegorical title-page by J.C. Reinsperger after J.J. Preisler, vignette title-page printed in red and black, letterpress list of charts laid down on verso, 30 double-page, fully hand-coloured engraved charts, all mounted on guards, eighteenth-century half calf over marbled paper boards Doppelmayr, an acclaimed astronomer, was born in Nuremberg in 1671. He was a member of the Royal Society of London and the Academies of Berlin, Vienna and St Petersburg. It is unsurprising that Doppelmayr collaborated with Germany's leading map publisher Johann Baptist Homann on both the terrestrial and celestial maps included in this atlas. He visited astronomers in many countries and hence in addition to the star charts and selenographic map, the atlas includes "diagrams illustrating the planetary systems of Copernicus, Tycho, and Riccilio; the ecliptic theories of Kepler, Boulliau, Seth Ward and Mercator; the lunar theories of Tycho, Horrocks and Newton, and Halley's cometary theory'' (DSB IV, p.166). PROVENANCE: Thomas Edward Amyot, bookplate to upper pastedown and inscription to verso of vignette title-page, dated 8 August 1862

Georg Matthaeus Seutter Atlas Novus Indicibus Instructus. Vienna: Gedrukt bey Johann Peter v. Ghelen/Kaiserlichen Hof-/Universitäts-/ und Gemeiner Stadt Wien Buchdruckern, 1730 [but see below] Folio (556 x 335mm.), title printed in black and red, contents with letterpress over-slip corrections for maps 32 & 33, 2 engraved headpieces in preliminary leaves, engraved allegorical frontispiece, and 53 DOUBLE-PAGE MAPS, ALL COLOURED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND, recent red morocco gilt in period style, without the dedication leaf to Charles VI or double-page engraved dedication apparently found in some copies, narrow, faint dampstain along lower margin of many leaves (just creeping into the coloured border on a handful of plates), letterpress leaves printed on paper of varying quality and consequently sometimes browned, thinned, or re-margined along fore edge, a few maps with inoffensive repairs A BEAUTIFULLY ENGRAVED AND FINELY HAND-COLOURED ATLAS OF GRAND PROPORTIONS, predominantly containing detailed maps of Europe, often handsomely embellished with elaborate vignettes composed of coats of arms, portraits, allegorical figures, and national symbols. In addition to these regional maps, the atlas also includes a celestial map, a world map (with polar regions shown in insets) and four continent maps showing North America with California as an island, and, curiously, a map of postal routes in Germany. Each of the regional maps is accompanied by a single or double-page letterpress “Alphabetischer Index”, listing alphabetically every city and town recorded on the map and enabling the user easily to find its location by way of a grid system. According to Moreland & Bannister, the present work was first published in 1728 in Vienna and Augsburg, with subsequent reissues appearing in 1730 and 1736. Although the title page in this copy bears a publication date of 1730, the letterpress indices included with each regional map are dated anywhere from 1727–1735; and while the maps themselves are undated, most are signed with the abbreviation “Sac. Caes. Mai. Geogr.” or “S. C. M. G.,” which, according to Ritter, indicates that they would have been produced after Seutter was granted the title of Imperial Geographer by Charles VI in 1731/2. Initially apprenticed to a brewer, Georg Matthäus Seutter (1678–1757) trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremburg before setting up shop in his native Augsburg. Despite a rocky financial start to his new venture, Seutter’s ability to produce a diverse array of maps eventually paid off; as Ritter tells us, “In addition to the usual topographical and world maps, Seutter produced not only town plans and views, war maps, maps showing the locations of Catholic orders, and globes, but also more unusual types of cartographic prints such as educational maps, fantasy maps, and tables of distances”. Ritter also says that by the time of his death in 1757, Seutter had become “one of the most famous map publishers of Central Europe” and has long been “recognized… as one of the most important map publishers in Germany in the first half of the eighteenth century”.
