Schrämbl, Franz Anton (sold) (Schraembl)
Franz Anton Schrämbl (Schraembl; 1751 - December 13, 1803) was a Vienna-based cartographer working in the later part of the 18th century. Schrämbl was born in Vienna. He became director of the normal school in Troppau but soon quit to set up a bookshop in Vienna. In 1787, with fellow Austrian Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (1766 - 1820), he founded a publishing firm. He began his great work, the Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas, in the same year. This ambitious large format atlas was to be based upon only the most up-to-date cartographic information available, among them cartographers J. B. B. D'Anville (1697 - 1782) and James Rennel (1742 - 1830), and explorers such as James Cook (1728 - 1779), Charles Roberts (1739 - 1825), and others. The atlas was published in 1800 and became the first Austrian commercial world atlas. The work experienced minimal circulation, possibly due to its high cost. The low sales nearly drove Schrämbl into insolvency, but he recovered through diversification into literature and art books. When Franz Anton died in 1803, his widow Johanna and her brother, the engraver Karl Robert Schindelmayer (1769 - 1839), assumed control of the firm. In 1825, his son, Eduard Schrämbl, took over.

This is Franz Anton Schrämbl's 1788 map of India. This scarce, magnificently-engraved map is a faithful rendition of James Rennell's masterful 1782 Map of Hindoostan, the finest 18th century map of the subcontinent, capturing the best surveys of India available during the period in which the British East India Company held sway. Rennell's work, based on the first scientific surveys of India, presented the region in a matchless degree of detail. By adopting this map as his source, Schrämbl was choosing the absolute state-of-the-art of India mapping. One of the first Austrian world atlases, Schrämbl's Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas presented the works of the best cartographers of the day: D'Anville, Kitchin, the Berlin Academy of Sciences and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences all shared the pages of this monumental work with Rennell.

This is a monumental and highly detailed map 1789 map of the Coromandel Coast, India by Franz Anton Schrämbl. This map, on two separate sheets, covers the southeastern coast of India from Nagapattinam (Nega-Patnam) north as far as Narsapur and inland as far as Tiruchirappalli and Hyderabad. Schrämbl derived this map from the influential French cartographer Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville's similar map of 1753, which here has been re-engraved, updated, and translated into German. It offers excellent coverage of the Coromandel Coast of India naming port cities, including Chennai (Madras), Nagappattinam (Negapatam), Puducherry (Pondicherry), Pazhaverkadu (Pulicat), etc. Several important rivers, towns, villages, roads and other topographical features are also noted throughout. Mountain ranges are rendered in profile. (more details)

This 1789 Franz Anton Schraembl map of the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula is the first printed map specifically of Yemen, and the earliest map to be based on actual exploration of this region. It is derived from data collected by the German mathematician Carsten Niebuhr, who was the sole survivor of the Danish Arabia Expedition (1761-67). The map covers what is now the western part of Yemen and the southwestern extents of Saudi Arabia. Many recognizable place names are shown with accuracy. The ports of Aden and Mocha appear, and do Al Hudaydah, Al Luhayyah, and the Red Sea islands of Kameran, Jazirat Jabel Zuqar, and Perim Island. More impressively (considering that Europeans seldom ventured further than the coast), Sana'a and Damar, Yarim and Taizz are accurately placed, along with many other towns, cities and wadis. Abu Arish, in Saudi Arabia is shown as well. The topography of the inland regions is indicated with hachures. A table in the lower left gives the precise latitude of key cities for ease in location.
