Description

Important richely illustrated compendium of the first Dutch voyages to East India, of great interest for the history and establisment of the Dutch global trade, particularly in America, Asia and Oceania.
Some of the voyages here concern America, especially those of Olivier de Noort around the world by the Strait of Magellan, the trip of George Spilberg to the Moluccas by the same route, and the southern navigation of Jacques Le Maire and Willem Cornelisz Schouten.

Very nice example in uniform contemporary binding, composed of the 10 volumes of the voyages, to which are joined, as often, the 2 volumes of the Voyage of Gautier Schouten in the East Indies.

The volumes are illustrated with 8 frontispieces, a portrait of Schouten and 68 prints and maps, some folding.

Provenance With on the titles ex-libris manuscript Jean-Henri Burckard (1672-1738), botanist and German antique dealer.

Some very nice maps of Philippines and Manilla, among a large folding map : The map is an expanded version of De Bry's "Mar di India", with the inclusion of an inset map of Buton Straits (Botton I. 140x105mm.). The Straits of Buton, highlighted on the map, although narrow, were an important route for ships sailing from Batavia and Makassar to the Moluccas or Spice islands during the northerly monsoons.

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 any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on 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 by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.
There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
