Rare Antique Map-LIBYA-NORTHERN AFRICA-FORTRESS-TRIPOLI-Pieter van der Aa-1725

Description: This plate originates from the very scarse: 'La galerie agreable du monde (...). Tome premier des d'Afrique.', published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725. This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, meurs, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced. It is said that only 100 copies were printed. Ref: Koeman Aa9; Phillips 2780 note. This plate was originally published in 'Les Forces de l'Europe (...).', by Nicolas de Fer, Paris, 1693.
