Atlas van Zeevaert en Koophandel door de Geheele Weereldt. Amsterdam: Reinier and Josua Ottens, 1745.

A fine, crisp hand-coloured copy of the corrected edition of Renard’s Atlas de la Navigation et du Commerce (Amsterdam, 1715). This earlier edition utilised plates from Frederik de Wit’s maritime atlas from c.1675, and was subsequently published in a new French edition by R. and J. Ottens in 1739, followed by this 1745 Dutch edition. 7 new charts appear, including Edmund Halley’s world map (4), a map of European postal routes (10) and one of Greenland (32). Renard’s name no longer appears on the plates in this edition and much of the text has been rewritten. The binding with the arms of Count Louis Alexandre Andrault de Langeron, a French general in the service of the Russian army and a renowned bibliophile and collector of Dutch books. Koeman, Ren 3; Phillips, Atlases 601; Shirley BL II, M.Ren-1c.
