A large, richly detailed copper engraving by Johann Baptist Homann depicting a 96-gun ship-of-the-line (Orlog, from the Dutch "oorlog," war) in full rig at anchor, with a lengthwise cross-section below showing the vessel's interior decks and compartments, each named as sailors of the period would have called them. Surrounding the central image are 17 subsidiary views and diagrams: construction details of a ship's hull and a chaloupe seen from above and in cross-section, a stern ornament ("Hackebord") and bow/figurehead detail, two styles of finished hull model, navigational instruments including a backstaff ("Spiegelbogen"), proportional dividers, a mariner's compass, an equinoctial compass, and a star-course table, plus two views of a "Kameel" or ship-camel — the inflatable/buoyant pontoon device used to lift heavy-draft ships over shallows. A specification panel lists the full hierarchy of a warship's crew, from Admiral-General down to ship's boys, and an extensive nine-column key at the foot identifies every numbered line, stay, and sail on the main ship by name. The sheet is headed "Cum Privilegio Sac. Caes. Majestatis" — the imperial printing privilege — which places this impression after the plate's earliest state, since the first edition (per Sandler's standard Homann bibliography) was issued without it.

Johann Baptist Homann, appointed Imperial Geographer in 1715, was the most prominent German map and print publisher of the early 18th century; this plate was occasionally bound into atlas, but circulated mainly as a separate decorative sheet, and surviving examples are notably less common than his regional maps.

The engraving comes from the atlas “Atlas novus terrarum orbis imperia regna et status exactis tabulis geographice demonstrans...“ published in Nuremberg circa 1720.

The post 1743 – J. B. Homann – Europa appeared first on Antique Maps.

Antique map of the surroundings of Gdańsk (Danzig), Poland. The map is uniquely oriented to the East/Southeast (rather than North), which allows for a dramatic layout of the Vistula River delta flowing toward the Baltic Sea coast on the left. The large pink and white geometric sectors illustrate the Danziger Werder and Marienburger Werder. These areas show the intricate drainage channels, dikes, and agricultural plots developed heavily by Dutch Mennonite settlers to manage the low-lying delta lands.

A detailed architectural cityscape panorama titled "Prospect der Stadt Danzig" sits inside a decorative pedestal frame. It captures the famous skyline of the city from a distance, crowned at the top by the city's official coat of arms. Left vignette features classical allegorical figures, including a personification of Fame or Geography holding navigational tools alongside a globe. Right vignette depicts bustling harbor merchants, figures in traditional clothing, and shipping crates, celebrating the city's historic prominence as a major Polish Baltic trading port.

The map comes from the Johann Baptist Homann atlas “Atlas Novus…“, published in Nuremberg, c. 1730.
