Septentrionalium Regionum Descrip. Ortelius based this influential map on the work of earlier authorities including Mercator, Zeno and Magnus. Of particular interest are the mythical islands of Brasil, Frisland, Drogeo, Icaria, and St. Brendan. Part of Mercator`s imaginary polar continent is depicted with a Latin note that it is inhabited by pygmies. Iceland (Islant, Thule) is basically unchanged from Mercator´s map of Europe from 1554 with the shape originated by Zeno. Greenland is separated from Europe by a wide sea and a portion of North America appears in the upper left corner with the name Estotilant. The map is adorned with a variety of very inventive creatures including a half-man, half-sea creature playing a lute. This is the seventh and final state. Latin text on verso. A strong impression with light toning, a few spots of printer`s ink residue, a minute hole in the northern ship, and a small abrasion to the east of Frisland. 14.3"" W x 19.2"" H Ortelius, Abraham 1603
An interesting pair of Vases, c.1600, each of exaggerated baluster form and painted in underglaze blue in three registers with a central band of bamboo, peony, rocks and chrysanthemum, the foot with rocks and breaking waves, and the shoulders with three florets reserved on key-fret, the neck with false gadroons, one with discoloration at lute line, 15cm, paper labels (2) The RHRP Collection label is that of Reginald Howard Reed Palmer MC, DL (1898-1970) one of the foremost collectors of his day. He started collecting in 1924 and exhibited widely. He began selling in 1962 and, following several sales after his death, 19 early blue and white porcelains were sold in Hong Kong. This fits with the present owner`s recollection that her parents bought the vases there around that time. For further information on Palmer, see Davids, Roy and Jellinek, Dominic, `Provenance`, 2011, 347. The pencilled style of decoration and the use of the waves breaking on a rock are characteristic of th
