This auction is for the extremely rare and 100% original and authentic antique map of the above region, cartographer and year.  This auction is only for the map that is pictured in this listing.   This is a 100% genuine original antique map.  I DO NOT sell copies, posters, reproductions or fakes so you can buy with total confidence that you are buying the real thing.  I have sold my collection to thousands of dealers, galleries, and map collectors from all around the world.  If you like this map, then please message me with an offer for me to consider.

 

I cannot stress enough how beautiful this map is up close compared to the photos that you see.  Note that the photos do not do the map justice.  This is truly an incredible map to behold!!  This is your chance to own a map that can be the centerpiece of your collection.

 

Map Details: This incredible map of the Americas is filled with detail throughout. There is no coastline shown above the peninsular California, leaving out the usual conjectures about the Northwest Passage. South America shows very developed river systems, with the La Plata River terminating in a fictional Lacus Xarayes. It extends to the western part of Africa and southwest Europe. There is only an amorphous coastline shown above the peninsular California, with the Pacific Northwest left blank. The very large title cartouche includes two erupting volcanoes, Native Americans, palm trees, sugar cane, parrots, and a pot of gold. Johann Matthias Haas was a professor of mathematics at Wittenberg, and he worked with the Homann Heirs updating their map stock. The extravagant title cartouche includes two erupting volcanoes, Native Americans (one who appears to be holding a shrunken head), birds and a pot of gold or silver.   This map is unbelievably rare to find period let alone in this type of excellent condition and is priced accordingly.  Beautiful hand coloring and in excellent condition. This map is from my personal collection. If you can even find one, this map would sell for much more elsewhere.


General Description: 

1.  Strikingly interesting and highly detailed map. The map depicts in great detail all of the geographical information known at the time the map was published.   Note that many geographical details have changed since the map was published and were not accurate compared to today's modern maps because things were fully discovered and accurately mapped yet.  Map symbols and details include individual towns, rivers, lakes, bays, harbors, islands, mountains, forests, roads and other important places as shown on the map in this listing. 

2.  The map is in excellent condition considering the age and rarity of the map. The overall size of the map sheet is approximately 21 inches by 23 inches.  

3.  The map is a 100% original and genuine antique map.   

All of my maps are investment grade and collectible quality.  The value of this original will only increase over time.  Many people are now starting to offer cheap reproductions/copies.  Why spend the money for something like that when you can have an original for a few dollars more that will only increase in value over time.

Please e-mail me with any offers that you would like to make.
