- Lot Description
Mayer, Tobias. MATHEMATISCHER ATLAS IN WELCHEM AUF 60 TABELLEN ALLE Theile der Mathematic vorgestellet und nicht allein überhaupt zu bequemer Wiederholung, sondern auch den Anfängern besonders zur Aufmunterung durch deutliche Beschreibung u. Figuren entworfen werden. Augsburg: J.A. Pfeffel, 1745. (With Supplement). 19 by 14 inches, oblong contemporary 1/2 leather and marbled board covers with gilt decorative insert to the upper cover. Copperplate engravings show all kinds of geometric, trigonometric and astronomical instruments, mechanical and optical figures, mills etc. On plate XI Mayer's own invention, the "Recipiangel", an instrument consisting of two diopter rulers turning around a fixed point intended for the measuring of angles. In addition there are plates on geography (no. XXXI with a map of Europe and a map of the Esslingen region), on sundials, fortifications, architecture etc. - The 8 plates in the appendix are about arithmetic and geometry only.
Covers heavily worn with upper cover separated; title page dusty and creased with repairs in the margins. Complete with 68 (60 plus 8 in the Supplement) copper engraved plates, most with contemporary hand-coloring. Quite a few of the engraved plates show old dampstaining in the very bottom margins - but this does not generally affect the images. Many of the plates show uneven toning/discoloration to the image area, but the plates are still quite striking. A small number of the plates have paper repairs, mainly visible on the versos.Condition
