Carte Particolare Del'India Occidentale Che Contiene Il Golfo ..
|
A fine example of this rare and important chart showing the coasts of Central America from Guatemala to Panama. Sir Robert Dudley's "Dell'Arcano Del Mare" is renowned as the first atlas of sea charts of the world, done on a uniform Mercator projection and for the distinctive and elegant engraving of the Florentine craftsman, Arnoldo Lucini. Dudley, an English Courtier exiled to Florence prepared the massive two-volume work for the Doge. Printed on two sheets joined this was not only one of the first printed charts of the region but remained the largest format for the next one hundred years. Small area of paper weakness backed otherwise a fine example.
