Description
ENLARGED EDITION, with 207 (of 208) engravings of a famous eyewitness account of the Dutch Revolt, with the famous "Leo Belgicus" map, here in its second state. One of the major sources for the history of the Low Countries during the beginning of their struggle for independence. This history of the religious wars in Belgium and Holland from 1559-87 is illustrated with Hogenberg's engravings (from his "Geschichtsblättern"), whereby the engravings for this edition were printed without the lower text panel and have Latin text on the reverse. They mostly show siege scenes of the most important cities in the Netherlands, e.g. Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bergen op Zoom, Breda, Brussels, Haarlem, Leiden, Maastricht, Mechelen, Middelburg, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Zuthphen and some from France.The Australian author Michael Aitsinger (1530 ?-1598 ?) followed the tradition of 'newsletters' published on the occasion of the regular trade-fairs, began to issue a series of half-yearly publications. This work, written with unusual impartiality for the time, was repeatedly updated and reprinted. Aitsinger witnessed the execution of Egmont and Hoorn and became a partisan historian of the Dutch Revolt. The fame of the book owes much to the 208 fine engravings by Frans Hogenberg (1536-1590) which depict many places and historical events in the Netherlands and Germany with great reliability.
The splendid "Leo Belgicus" i.e. folding engr. map of the Low Countries as a lion became a symbol of the unity and strength of the 17 Provinces was the prototype for numerous similar maps up to the beginning of the 19th century, is here present in its second state with the name of Elisabeth (of Valois) added.

America Meridionalis.
The title cartouche lower left surrounded by native Indians and an Elephant.A rather accurate depiction and descriptions of South America. Brazil is slightly enlarged and bears mainly names of the costal zone. The inland was rather unknown at the time and regarded as both pagan and dangerous area like the Amazon.Argentina with Cape Horn and the Falkland Islands are merely deformed. The map was published by Matthäus Seutter's son in law Tobias Conrad Lotter, who continued the cartographical work...

Piano di Nizza.
Rare 1797 manuscript map of Nice, with the French navy attacking from the sea. Unknown author, Italian, but map attributed to an original, probably broadsheet map by Mollieras (?). Good plan of the layout of Nice and the port and coast as was in 1797. Ships are perhaps a trifle naive. This attack is not covered by any other antique maps or prints.The sheet is watermarked with the initials JH & Z, for Jan Honig and Zoonen, a firm of papermakers operating in Zaandijk, north of Amsterdam operating ...
