Bodenehr, Gabriel the Elder
Gabriel Bodenehr (1664 - 1758) was a Swiss/German engraver, publisher and mapmaker, scion of a long Bodenehr line of engravers and publishers in Augsburg. He is best remembered for his 1704 Atlas Curieux and Curioser Staats und Kriegs Theatrum (1715). In 1717 the family took over the Augsburg publishing house of Stridbeck, who had produced many of the maps appearing in the Bodenehr atlas.

This is a joined pair of maps of the Western Hemisphere, engraved by Johann Stridbeck for inclusion in Georg Bodenehr's small format 1716 atlas. The maps are presented side by side to contrast French and Dutch cartographic perspectives on the New World. In this singular example, the plate for the 'Dutch' America map is in its rare first state (with the explorers' medallions) rather than the more common second state. (more details)
