BERMUDA. Mappa Aestivarum Insularum, alias Barmudas. c. 1633. Size about 15.5 BY 20.5 inches  (18 by 22.5 inches with margins). Hand colored. Dampstained. 100% authentic. Henricus Hondius, a Dutch mapmaker, created a notable map of Bermuda titled "Mappa Aestivarum Insularum, alias Barmudas". (Map of the Summer Isles, otherwise known as Bermuda). This map, first published around 1633, was based on earlier surveys by Richard Norwood and depicted the island with decorative elements and detailed property divisions. It was a significant contribution to the understanding and representation of Bermuda in the 17th century. Hondius's "Mappa Aestivarum Insularum, alias Barmudas" is a double-page engraved map, known for its decorative cartouches, compass rose, and rhumb lines. It shows the three main islands of Bermuda (Grand Bermuda, Somerset Island, and Saint George's Island). The map is based on Richard Norwood's detailed survey of Bermuda, conducted in 1622, which was the first accurate mapping of the island. Norwood's survey was commissioned by the Somer Island Company. The map was first published in the German edition of Hondius's atlas, around 1633. Later editions were included in various atlases, including those published by Janssonius and Valk & Schenk. The map provides a glimpse into the early English settlement of Bermuda, as it shows the division of land into lots and tribes, along with a list of property owners. It also reflects the island's name change from "Bermudas" to "Somer Isles" (after Admiral George Somer), which was prevalent at the time.
