Van Loon, Harmanus (sold)
Harmanus van Loon (fl. c. 1690 - c. 1725) was a Flemish engraver active in Paris during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Van Loon worked primarily in Paris and often signed his work, which includes maps and other engravings for such prominent cartographers as Nicolas de Fer, Jean Baptiste Nolin, Guillaume Delisle, and others. There is some speculation that he may have been related to the Brussels born painter Theodorus van Loon.

The map embraces many of the confusions and misconceptions regarding the geography of Asia prevalent during the late 17th and late 18th centuries, among them a mismapping of the Caspian Sea, the apocryphal lake of Chiamay, and confusion regarding the seas north of Japan and the Siberian Arctic.

An attractive example of Nicolas de Fer's c. 1718 map of the world in two hemispheres. This map is an intermediate proof state of a map first published in 1700. Note the empty cartouche at top center - representing a transitional phase between the 1708 and 1718 editions. The map features numerous interesting cartographic anomalies, among them 'California as an Island', a speculative pacific northwest and Siberian Arctic, and partial pre-Cook mappings of New Zealand, New Guinea, and Australia. The whole is surrounded by beautiful decorative engraving by Herman van Loon illustrating tides, volcanos, and extreme weather. (more details)
