Summary
This is a historically important and spectacular 1710 Homann map part of Denmark. Formally titled Tabula Generalis Iutiae. Features a decorative title cartouche including Poseidon and others. Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724), his son, Christoph Homann (1703-30) founded 18th century's most important German cartography firm around 1702 in Nurnburg. Six years after his father's 1724 death, Christoph retired from the map business on the condition that all future maps produced by the firm be published under the name of Homann Heirs.
Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was a German cartographer and publisher who is considered one of the most important mapmakers of the 18th century. He founded his own publishing house in 1702 and began producing maps and atlases that were highly accurate and beautifully illustrated. Homann's maps were used by explorers, merchants and military commanders, and in 1715 he became the official cartographer of the Holy Roman Emperor. His work helped shape the way Europeans saw the world, and his maps are still highly prized by collectors today.
