 POL115
- H. MOLL “Poland” London. 1709. Colored. 8X7½ with text additional.
Very early map of Poland with it's boundaries, cities, towns, rivers &
forests as it was perceived in the early 18th century. The text below
the map states “The Kingdom of Poland, which is now of vast extent, was
at first (according to Cluverius) not above 320 miles long and 240
broad, consisting at that time only of that Part, which for distinction
is usually named Poland...but it hath since received great additions,
Lithuania, the lesser or Red Russia, Podolia, Volhinia, Polisia,
Massovia, Prussia & part of Livonia, having been annexed to it.” The map
& text was included in Herman Moll's “The Compleat Geographer or the
Chorography and Topography of all Known Parts of the Earth,” published
in London in 1709. Herman Moll (1654-1732) was one of England's foremost
cartographers who worked in London at the beginning of what is known as
the British Enlightenment, when science, geography, astronomy, &
exploration of the world began to play a major role in the construction
of maps & their needs and uses. Fine. |
