Cartographer: Tirion, Isaac Title: Nieuw Kaart van het Westelykste Deel der Weereld, dienende tot aanwyzing an de Scheepstogten der Nederlanderne Naar West Indie Subject: Western Hemisphere, North and South America, West Indies Published: Amsterdam Date: 1754 Description: Finely detailed map of the Western Hemisphere including North and South America and the islands of the Caribbean. The map also incorporates parts of Europe and Africa, as well as the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Tirion has here captured a fascinating mid-eighteenth-century snapshot of colonialism in the Americas as the European powers carved up the continents and islands, apportioning them amongst one another. Size: Approx. 14'' x 13'' (33.0 x 35.6 cm) Color: Hand-colored engraving. Condition: On map, center fold, with light toning, with a tear in the empty area of the Pacific Northwest, and an old ink stain visible in the cartouche, and another in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Map is professionally mounted and framed, so the margin and verso are not visible. Source: Nieuwe en beknopte hand-atlas bestaande in eene verzameling van eenige der algemeenste en nodigste landkaarten (Amsterdam, 1754 ed.)
