L´Amerique Dressee Sur Les N: Observations.Per R & J Ottens

We are  proud to offer a   Wall map of America by Ottens based in the rare Frederick  de Wit wall map first published in 1672.This map is state 3 circa 1730 according to Burden. The differences with other previous states is that the Great lakes are enclosed and the Australian coastline is represented in the same way that routes of explorers added to the oceans. The map preserves the upper panel with the title,decorative figures and Ottens imprint. According to Burden, only two copies of this state are known: One sold by Clive Burden LTD in 1980 and present location unknown and another in the catalogue of Stephanie Hoppen " Cartographica Curiosa" 1981 item 6, present location unknown.
The map do not have any text or city views panels at sides. This map was printed after 1719 when the two Ottens brothers inherited the business from their father Joachim Ottens. two large cartouches at bottom (left cartouche with Ottens imprint)  and the profile of Australia with a naval combat. Inset at upper left side with a polar projection  circular map. There are some missing part of the map affecting ocenas( not engraved surface) and some minor losses affecting printed surface. Undeniably a cartographic treasure.
