This map of Africa by Jodocus Hondius is similar to the earlier plate of 1623, the date has been altered and the lower border removed. It also lacks the line border, which could lead to the conclusion that it was done before the 1623 plate and the date was altered later. There is also a possibility that the lower border of views broke off at some stage. This example was probably published in a composite atlas. Not listed in Norwich or Tooley, reference on maps of Africa. RARE.

Indif Orientalis Nova Descriptio.
Amsterdam, Jan Jansson, c1645, French text edition. 395 x 510.
Original colour, with some recent embellishment. Minor marginal defects
otherwise good.
This is a landmark map, being the first printed record of the discoveries
made by the Dutch ship "Dufken" on route to Cape York in Australia, despite
the 27 years that had passed since the voyage! The Dutch East India Company
suppressed the knowledge of the discoveries until it was learned how profitable
Australia would be, but it is believed it was leaked from the Blaeu firm, the
official cartographers to the Company. Two years later Blaeu issued his
version, but it must have been galling to have known the secrets for nearly
thirty years and be beaten to publication by his fiercest rival. |

Amsterdam, Henricus Hondius, 1633, French text edition. 385 x 505.
Full original colour; some minor toning and light staining to the margins, trimmed at bottom edge, but well away from printed surface, otherwise a fine example.
This is a landmark map, being the first printed record of the discoveries made by the Dutch ship "Dufken" on route to Cape York in Australia, despite the 27 years that had passed since the voyage! The Dutch East India Company suppressed the knowledge of the discoveries until it was learned how profitable Australia would be, but it is believed it was leaked from the Blaeu firm, the official cartographers to the Company. Two years later Blaeu issued his version, but it must have been galling to have known the secrets for nearly thirty years and be beaten to publication by his fiercest rival.
