Copper engraving, published in 1714 in Leiden by Pieter van der Aa Top left, title in a cartouche with the arms of the kingdom, illustrated with a hunting scene. A nice hand coloured map. Trimmed closely to the edge. A touch of foxing / marking, but not bad. Colours have faded a little. The map is page 19 of the Atlas Le nouveau théâtre du monde ou la géographie royale, published 1713. 230 x 300 mm (9 x 11Ÿ inches). Pierre van der Aa, together with various Dutch, French, and German cartographers, is recognized for having reproduced maps of Ireland based upon William Petty's Hiberniae Delineatio of 1685, acknowledged as the first comprehensive atlas of Ireland. Petty's original map had been engraved in Amsterdam in 1673 (Tooley, p.93). This map depicts not only Ireland but also portions of England, Wales, and Scotland, along with the islands of Man and Anglesey. Van der Aa (16591733) was a distinguished Dutch publisher of maps and atlases who engaged leading engravers of his time to produce works of superior technical execution and aesthetic refinement.
