c. 1720 Hand-Colored Map titled, “TOTIUS AMERICAE SEPTENTRIONALIS ET MERIDIONALIS NOVISSIMA REPRAESENTATIO...”, by Johann Baptista Homann, Nuremberg, Framed, Choice Extremely Fine.

The first of two Maps of America published by the Homann family, here shown with bold heavy sharp detailing, including a historic depiction of California as a large peninsula. This large Double-Page Map measuring 19.25” x 22.5” (by sight), is beautifully matted and framed to an overall size of 31.25” x 33.25”, with original vibrant color displayed under special UV Plexiglas. A richly ornamented map of North and South America, shown as known at the time. Much of the American northwest is designated as Unknown Territory. There are two lovely, uncolored cartouches. The engraved title cartouche, at lower left, shows Native American Indians and Europeans; a village with houses and windmills is at left, and “New World” animals and plants are displayed in the foreground. The cartouche at upper left shows Native American Indians, a missionary and a mythological figure. Inside the cartouche, written in Latin, is information on the exploration of America. Minor chips and blemishes. Overall, an excellent bright and vibrant attractive map, professionally modern framed and ready for display.
