Description
original-colour copper engraving, enhanced coloured cartouche.
A large and attractive map of Asia in original colour, a copper engraving that must have originated from a composite atlas by Homann Erben, published in Nuremberg. Johann Baptist Homann [1633-1724] was born in Bavaria, turned Lutheran and moved to Nürnberg in 1702. He was appointed Geographer to the Emperor (Kaiser) of the Holy Roman Empire in 1715. A prolific publisher, he produced some 200 maps and several atlases. After his death, the son partnered as Homann Heirs and published a huge number of maps in many forms and editions, aside from the “Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt” (Grand Atlas of all the World).
