Description

RARE, very early imprint of Gerard De Jode's  map of Caenomaniae (Maine (Le Mains - Province), from his Speculum Orbis Terrarum, published in 1593 or earlier. <br>Gérard de Jode (1508? -1590) published in Antwerp in 1578 the Speculum Orbis Terrarum, hoping to make this atlas with 90 maps a competitor to the Theatrum of Abraham Ortelius. <br><br>However, this last work is popular with the public as evidenced by the many and frequent reissues and as a result, the Speculum does not meet the expected success. Fifteen years passed before the second edition, whose title was slightly different. <br><br>Now the atlas consists of 112 maps and the writing was directed by Gérard's son, Corneille (1568-1600). 
<br>In 1598, the map was replaced by a new map Le Mans. CENOMANO RUM TYPUS [v.d.Krogt 4430:332]. This example has no text on the verso, and strong plate tone is still visible.  The laid paper has a watermark of drapes similar to C.M Briquet, Les Filigranes, 13.192. Briquets dates the paper 1580 and traces it to Brabant.  The map is signed in the lower right corner by Gerardum de Jode. <br>The map is printed on thin paper and hastily printed, typically for use in a composite atlas.
The atlas has brown pen-and-ink numbers 50, 51, and, on the verso, 28 and Le Mans. <br><br>A SEPARATELY PRINTED EDITION OF THIS STANDARD MAP OF LE MAINS.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).

The value of a rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map depends on rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain.

We provide auction estimates from photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates over the phone, nor can we respond to requests without a photo.
