No binding. Zustand: Fair. 295 x 410 mm., with worm tracks in the margins repaired, one further at centrefold repaired, otherwise in good condition. The final issue of four of the reduced version of the modern map of the British Isles by Martin Waldseemuller (c.1475-before 1522) first issued in a larger format in 1513. Waldseemuller is noted for being the first to produce a collection of modern maps and famously produced the wall map of the world in 1507 surviving in just one known example. His edition of Ptolemy's 'Geographia' in 1513 was reduced in format by Laurent Fries in 1522, a geographer and physician in Alsace.Further editions appeared in 1525, Lyon in 1535, and finally this in Vienne, 1541. The map draws on earlier portolans for its delineation and as might be expected displays little in the way of internal details. There are several coastal towns identified which are not easily identified. The side margins bear latitude scales. By now Lorenz Fries (c.1490-c.1531) had died. The blocks found their way into the possession of Melchoir and Gaspar Treschel. This edition was published in Lyon under the single editorship of Gaspar Treschel.

A Map and Masterpiece: The 1522 Fries/Grüninger Geographia This 1522 Strasbourg edition of the Geographia, edited by Laurent Fries and published by Johannes Grüninger, is a significant and fascinating work of early modern cartography. While this edition was a commercial failure due to printing errors (later corrected in the 1525 edition), it is highly valued today for its synthesis of cartographic knowledge and its unique artistic elements. ________________________________________ The Map: 'Tabula Nova Partis Aphri' (Recto) The map on the recto, titled Tabula Nova Partis Aphri, is a reduced yet highly detailed woodcut. It is a critical piece of cartographic history, as it's the earliest acquirable map to provide a modern, accurate depiction of Africa from the Equator to the Cape of Good Hope. This work by Lorenz Fries is a synthesis of two groundbreaking sources: Martin Waldseemüller's 1513 Tabula Moderna Secunde Porcionis Aphrice and his 1516 Carta Marina, which incorporated new discoveries by Portuguese explorers Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias. The map is a masterful blend of geography and artistic embellishment. It corrects the ancient Ptolemaic error that had Africa connected to China and the Indian Ocean landlocked. It includes detailed illustrations of three enthroned African kings, an elephant, and serpents. A particularly notable feature is the depiction of the King of Portugal, Manuel I, riding a sea monster in the Mare Prassodum, a powerful symbol of Portugal's dominion over the seas following their successful circumnavigation of the continent. The inclusion of Prester John, a legendary Christian monarch believed to rule a vast kingdom in Africa or Asia, is especially compelling. His presence on the map reflects the European hope of finding a powerful Christian ally against Islamic forces, underscoring the spiritual and political motivations driving the Age of Exploration. ________________________________________ The Verso Woodcut: An Attribution to Dürer The reverse of the map is just as significant, bearing a superb woodcut of an indigenous man and woman that is widely attributed to the celebrated German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The attribution is based on the print's remarkable stylistic qualities, including Dürer's characteristic mastery of the woodcut medium, with intricate and expressive linework, a keen focus on anatomical detail, and a sophisticated use of light and shadow. While the publisher was Grüninger, Dürer had known collaborations within the vibrant Strasbourg publishing community, lending historical plausibility to this attribution. The woodcut's humanistic style and its depiction of newly encountered peoples perfectly captured the spirit of the age of exploration, making it a compelling artistic counterpart to the map on the recto. The Map had some minor professional cleaning and currently framed between two panes of glass.…

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. 290 x 380 mm., in FULL EARLY WASH COLOUR, in good condition. The earliest affordable printed map of America in SUPERB EARLY WASH COLOUR. 'In 1522 Laurent Fries published an edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography' in which virtually all of the maps, including this one, were reduced versions of Waldseemüller's, 1513. Some of the more notable differences are the Columbus name PARIAS found in North America, misplaced from South America, the addition of a Spanish flag over Cuba, and a scene in South America depicting cannibals and an opossum both of which had been reported by Vespucci. The last map is taken directly from Martin Waldseemüller's great twelve sheet 'Carta Marina' of the world, 1516. Here also the 'TERRA INCOGNITA' has been replaced by 'TERRA NOVA', and the reference to America's discovery by Columbus is repeated. A large area of text below Hispaniola contains a description of that island's location, its discovery by Columbus, and its products. The title appears in a scroll across the top of the map, and is not present in any of the following editions. The latitude markings are now corrected and more legible' (Burden). This is an example of the second edition published in 1525. Provenance: Sotheby's London 2 December 1999 lot 195.
