Description

Striking example of John Smith's map of New England, which was engraved to illustrate Vander Aa's edition of Smith's Narrative on New England. Extends from Nantucket and Wapanoos to Penobscot Bay and Lake Erie. Ornate cartouche shows Smith's landing in New England. The map illustrated an early account of the New World published by Vander Aa, one of the most prolific compilers of information on the early explorations to America, Asia and Africa. In all, 130 narratives were compiled by Vander Aa. A finely executed copper plate engraving with decorative cartouche.

Pieter van der Aa Biography

Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733) was a Dutch mapmaker and publisher who printed pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated books, but is best known for his voluminous output of maps and atlases. Van der Aa was born to a German stonecutter from Holstein. Interestingly, all three van der Aa sons came to be involved in the printing business. Hildebrand was a copper engraver and Boudewyn was a printer.
