“CYPRE, Ile de la MER MEDITERRANÉE…”, Nouvel Atlas, Leiden, Pierre vander Aa, 1714
Pierre vander Aa
Copper engraving, 286 x 376 mm, modern colour, French
This map by Pierre vander Aa is a smaller version of Willem Janzsoon Blaeu’s map of Cyprus. Blaeu’s exquisite decorative treatment has been replaced by a cartouche and new pictorial motifs. The map was first published by vander Aa in his Nouvel Atlas, in 1714, which was re-issued by Covens. The map was also included in vander Aa’s extremely rare 27-volume composite atlas, La Galerie Agréable du Monde, which was published between 1729 and 1730, in 66 parts, in Leiden, Netherlands.
