Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Very good. Mended splits at top and bottom centerfold. Size 20.25 x 33 Inches. This is William Herbert's rare 1777 nautical map of northern Java in the vicinity of Jakarta (Batavia and Bantam). The chart was issued for the 1777 fourth edition of Herbert's New Directory for the East Indies , published by his protégé Henry Gregory as an English response to Jean-Baptiste de Mannevillette's 1775 reissue of the Neptune Oriental . A Closer Look This large southward-oriented nautical chart embraces the northern Java coastline from Bantam Bay to the Batavia Road, a region today largely subsumed into metropolitan and suburban Jakarta, Indonesia. The chart includes anchorages, soundings, and notations of navigational hazards. While the calligraphy, typography, and spartan format are stylistically English, the execution of the coastline evokes the chart's unnamed Dutch source. Manuscript Source In preparing his response to Mannevillette's sea atlas, Herbert amassed a commanding collection of manuscript plans and charts of East India ports and coastlines. Although a great many of Herbert's charts were derived from Mannevillette, this chart was 'Delineated and Translated from a Dutch Original Manuscript.' The specific manuscript source has proven elusive; however, surviving Dutch manuscript charts in the Bibliothèque Nationale by Joan Blaeu (1596- 1673) and in the Dutch National Archives by Isaac de Graaff (1668 - 1743) suggest that this map conforms to Dutch conventions in mapping the Batavia Road. This chart formed the definitive basis for English charts of Batavia throughout the 18th and into the 19th century, mainly through the auspices of Laurie and Whittle. Their chart - A New Chart of the North Coast of Java, wherein are described The Roads of Bantam and Batavia, from the Manuscript Draught of the Dutch East India Company - is a rote copy of the present work despite being reoriented to the north. Publication History and Census This chart was published by Henry Gregory in his much-expanded editions of William Herbert's New Directory for the East Indies . We see no earlier examples of the separate chart under Herbert's own imprint and no earlier states. We see no auction records of the chart since 2006. Only two examples of the chart - one of this edition, and one printed in 1789 by Gregory's successorWilliam Gilbert - are recorded in institutional collections. References: OCLC 7457294.
