RMMMJ08B–. Latina: Moscoviae Imperivm English: The map of Muscovite Empire includes also the territory of old Livonia and the North-eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The map depicts the end of the 16th century – the beginning of the 17th century cartographers’ notion of the Baltic Sea coastlines geographic view, which is of interest to us. Even though in the territory of present-day Latvia only a few place-names are noted (Riga, Venda, Dunemborg, Duina fluu., and Cureti pop.) and the coastline is significantly misrepresented, the map is testimony to the increasing geographical knowledge in Europe about o

RMMC6EDB–ASTROLOGY - HOROLOGIA Rather than being a traditional study of astrology, this interesting work is more a study of cosmography (in relation to astrology, and horology in general) Geronimo de Chaves was the first professor of cosmolgraphy in Seville, and one of the first cartographers to print and publish a map of the New World. The woodcut in this plate is a portrait of Chaves - from Geronimo de Chaves, Chronographia of Reportorio de los Tiempos... 1576.
RM2B031M4–Diogo Homem (1521–1576) was a Portuguese cartographer, son of Lopo Homem and member of a family of cartographers. Due to a crime of murder, in which he was connivent, he was forced to exile from Portugal, first in England, and then in Venice. It was there that he produced numerous manuscript atlases and charts, many of them of the Mediterranean. The work of Diogo Homem is of an exceptional graphical quality and beauty, being kept in Italy, Austria, United Kingdom, France, the USA and Portugal.
RM2BE114E–Ptolemy's map of Armenia with Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat was based on the description contained in Ptolemy's book Geographia, written 150 AD. Although authentic maps have never been found, the Geographia contains thousands of references to various parts of the old world, with coordinates for most, which allowed cartographers to reconstruct Ptolemy's world view when the manuscript was re-discovered around 1300 AD. Perhaps the most significant contribution of Ptolemy and his maps is the first uses of longitudinal and latitudinal lines and the specifying of terrestrial locations by celestial obse

RM2DB4K63–'Peter Van Den Keere or Petrus Kaerius was one of a number of refugees who fled from religious persecution in the Low Countries between the years of 1570 and 1590. He moved to London in 1584 with his sister who married Jodocus Hondius, also a refugee there. Through Hondius he undoubtedly learned his skills as an engraver and cartographer. In the course of a long working life he engraved a large number of individual maps for prominent cartographers of the day but he also produced an Atlas of the Netherlands (1617-22) and county maps of the British Isles which have become known as 'Miniature Spe

Cartography technologies greatly advanced during the Age of Discovery. Iberian mapmakers in particular focused on practical charts to use as navigational aids. Unlike Spanish maps which were considered a state secret, Portuguese maps were used by other countries, and Portuguese cartographers drew upon the skill and knowledge of other cultures, notably Islamic, as well.

RM2B025NN–Herman Moll (c. 1654 – September 22, 1732), was a cartographer, engraver, and publisher. Moll produced his earliest maps from studying cartographers such as John Senex and Emanuel Bowen. He probably sold his first maps from a stall in various places in London. From 1688 he had his own shop in Vanley's Court in London's Blackfriars. Between 1691 and 1710 his business was located at the corner of Spring Gardens and Charing Cross, and he finally moved along the River Thames to Beech Street where he remained until his death.
RM2BE1140–After its beginnings in the 8th century based on Hellenistic geography, Islamic geography was patronized by the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad. Various Islamic scholars contributed to its development, and the most notable include Al-Khwarizmi, Abu Zayd al-Balkhi (founder of the Balkhi school), and Abu Rayhan Biruni. Islamic cartographers inherited Ptolemy's Almagest and Geography in the 9th century. These works stimulated an interest in geography but were not slavishly followed. Instead, Arabian and Persian cartography followed Al-Khwarizmi in adopting a rectangular projection, shifting Ptolemy's

RF2DC96BT–The text at the top of this world map by Abraham Ortelius reads: Typus Orbis Terrarum (Map of the World).

RM2G4ATAT–Terrestrial globe. Both Blaeus, father and son, were world famous cartographers. The globes that they made were real showpieces. Naturally, they included the latest discoveries of distant lands, and colonies such as ‘Nieu Nederland’ (New York). Yet there were still unexplored territories in the world. Only a small section of the Australian coast had been charted – by Dutchmen, as the name ‘Hollandia Nova’ indicates.

RM2B02CRG–Published by Bellin and Schley for Prevost's' Histoire Generale des Voyages', this map is cartographically based on a 1702 map of the same issued by Scheuchzer and Kaempfer, which itself is most likely based on Japanese maps. Centered on Edo Castle, this map depicts the whole of Edo as it existed, with numerous streets shown but not named. Edo Castle itself is fancifully depicted as a French style formal garden. Possibly due to the cartographers inability to translate Japanese, the only three named locations on the map are Edo Castle, Japan Bridge, and the Faubourg de Sinagawa. From the esta
