Book Description
This 9th volume in the series of 'Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica' includes a separate extensive thematic index on the complete series. For more information, please ask for our special brochure on this publication. We have a limited stock of earlier published volumes available. This volume focuses exclusively on the work of Hessel Gerritsz (c. 1581-1632), who ranks among the most important and influential cartographers of the early-seventeenthcentury Amsterdam. He started his career in Willem Jansz. Blaeu's workshop. About 1608 he established himself as an independent engraver, mapmaker and printer. A selection of his maps has been described and reproduced in full size and his position as chart-maker of the Dutch East and West India Company is discussed in detail. This is the last and final volume in the series 'Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica'.

Book Description
Celebrated for their rarity, historical importance, and beauty, the maps of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation provide an invaluable resource for the history of settlement in America. In the colonies, maps were essential in facilitating trade and travel, substantiating land claims, and settling boundary disputes. Today, knowing exactly what maps were owned and used during the period gives us a much richer understanding of the aspirations of early Americans.This large, handsome volume -- a carefully researched cultural investigation -- examines how maps were made and marketed, why people here and abroad purchased them, what they reveal about the emerging American nation, and why they were so significant to the individuals who owned them. Among the rare or unique examples included here are several maps that have never before been published. A must for map collectors and historians, this book will also be treasured by the millions who travel each year to Colonial Williamsburg to celebrate their American heritage.
