Extremely Rare Antique Print of Dabhol or Dabul in Malabar, India, 1725
About the Item
Antique print titled 'La ville de Dabul - Reverence jounaliere des ministres d'Etat au Roi de Decan.' View of the city of Dabhol / Dabul on the Malabar coast, India. Extremely rare in this edition. This print originates from 'La Galerie Agreable du Monde (..)' published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725. This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, meurs, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced. It is said that only 100 copies were printed. Ref: Koeman Aa9; Phillips 2780 note. This plate was originally published in 'Naauwkeurge versameling der gedenkwaardigste zee- en land-reysen', a series of accounts of voyages (1706-08). Van der Aa published 130 translations of important 15th, 16th and 17th Century Travel Narratives to the America, Africa and Asia, which were issued in 28 volumes in the early part of the 18th Century. Many of them are extremely scarse or unobtainable. The decorative borders were added and are typical for this edition.
