This fine, scarce engraving is from John Ogilby's America: being the latest, and most accurate description of the New World ... Collected from most authentick authors, augmented with later observations and adorn'd with maps and sculptures, by John Ogilby. This first edition work was published in London by Ogilby in 1671. This is the first English edition after Arnoldus Montanus's De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld to which Ogilby added a number of references to New England, New France, Maryland and Virginia. This edition is considered more desirable for these additional references as well because they were often some of the earliest views and thus more comprehensive. The work included one of the first views of New York City. It also included new material on the English colonies in North America supplied by the Propietors. It also included an important map of the Americas as well as early depictions of the Carolinas, Maryland, Jamaica, and Barbados. Ogilby's America... dealt with important voyages and expeditions to the Americas, descriptions of Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, Bermuda, and North America, as well as South America and the Arctic region (referred to as the "Unknown South-Land"). The work also feature portraits of Columbus, Vesputius, Magellan and others. In addition, Ogilby included many plates dealing with facets of Indian life including games, festivals, occupations, habitations, and religion. John Ogilby (1600-1676) was in many trades in his life including dancing-master, courtier, theater owner, poet, translator, and publisher. In 1661 he became the master of the king's imprimeries of the king's printer. In the last decade of his life he began his work with geography resulting in this remarkable work. His venture into publishing atlases resulted in him being named his Majesty's cosmographer in 1671.

His venture into publishing atlases resulted in him being named his Majesty's cosmographer in 1671. Kircher: This extraordinary first edition engraving is from Athanasius Kirchir's Mundus Subterraneus, in XII libros digestus, quo divinum subterrestris mundi opificium, mira ergasteriorum naturae in eo distributio [...] The work was published by J. Janssonius & Elizeum Weyerstraten in 1665 in Amsterdam. This work was based off Kircher's visit to Sicily in 1637-8 when Etna and Stromboli both erupted. This observation led him to conclude that the earth's center as a massive internal fire and that volcanoes acted as safety valves. His work speculated on geology, hidden lakes, rivers of fire, strange inhabitants, the sun, the moon, eclipses, currents, meteorology, medicines, poisons, and even fireworks. The work “must always command a high place in the literature as the first effort to describe the earth from a physical standpoint.” (Zittel, p. 25) Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) was a Jesuit priest and scholar. He gathered and helped disseminate knowledge from around the world gathered by Jesuit missionaries. It is believed he was the first to depict the Pacific Ring of Fire on a map. He was one of the final Renaissance men. He lowered himself into Vesuvius after an eruption, experimented with bioluminescence as a light source, and make the first known Aeolian harp. He wrote 44 books, over 2000 manuscripts, and assembled one of the first natural history collections. Kircher's work was itself fascinating for its thematic maps. His work was on the underground passages and subterranean networks of the globe. He created a map that was the first to show ocean currents. Aldrovandi: This extraordinarily rare, first edition, folio engraving is from Ulysse Aldrovandi’s Opera Omnia. The work was published between 1599 and 1648 in Bologna, Italy by Clemente Ferroni, Niccolo Tebaldini, & Giovanni Battista Bellagamba. Many of the illustrations are the work of Jacopo Ligozzi. It was a massive, multi-volume, natural history encyclopedia. This work included the first published image of a toucan and bird of paradise. It was originally 13 volumes in total and featured illustrations of animals, plants, minerals, and fantastic “monsters” including dragons. Aldrovandi was an Italian botanist, pharmacologist, and noted author. He studied mathematics, Latin, law, and philosophy eventully earning a degree in medicine in 1553. In 1549, on return from studies in Paua, he was arrested in Bologna for heresy and sent to Rome where he managed to exonerate himself, likely due to his parents' nobility. Aldrovandi channeled much of his life’s work into collecting, writing and illustrating different biological specimens. His collection is now in display in the University in Bologna. The specimens were classified according to his own system and contributed to the later development of animal taxonomy. He became a full professor at the University of Bologna in 1561 where he presented natural history as a systematic study. He was also appointed the inspector of drugs and pharmacies, which met opposition, but was confirmed by Pope Gregory XIII. The Pope actually became a benefactor of Aldrovandi's numerous works on natural history. Only four of the volumes credited to Aldrovandi appeared in his life time (1522-1605). His students used his manuscripts to complete the remainder of his work. It was the largest collection of natural history illustrations to appear before the 18th century. “Aldrovandi was aware that the enormity of his task would stretch beyond his lifetime; just as Aristotle had passed his work on to his disciples, Aldrovandi hoped that his own pupils would continue the unfinished business of writing the definitive history of nature. At the end of his life, his literary production -mostly based on the objects of his museum- totaled more than 400 volumes, a number that he claimed would take more than a century to print. ‘And with all this I have kept three scribes in my house, excellent painters, designers, engravers, and have spent much on transportation [of artifacts] and on a library that can stand up to any other particular library in Italy.’ While it is hardly surprising that we should find Aldrovandi's attempts to bring all knowledge under one roof overwhelming, given our own assumption that there is always more to know, the number and size of his many unfinished projects amazed even contemporaries… “Separate from the thirteen printed volumes, which covered a range of topics -birds, insects, fish, quadrupeds, serpents, monsters, and hard objects, that is, stones, metals, gems, and fossils- the manuscripts included Aldrovandi 's voluminous correspondence, drafts of treatises, tables that classified and tabulated the natural world, and his own encyclopedic compendia that organized all his reading notes alphabetically, topically, and geographically.” (Findlen, Possessing Nature) The scope and titles of the volumes ae as follows: Vols. I-III. The Ornithology: Ornithologiae, hoc est, De Avibus Historiae Libri... Vol. IV. Fishes & Whales: De Piscibus Libri V et De Cetibus Lib. Unus. Vol. V. Monsters: Monstrorum historia cum Paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium Vol. VI. From Dogs to Chameleons: The “Clawed” Quadrupeds: De Quadrupedib.
