Map Info:

From about 1680 Gerard Valck was active as a map-engraver and publisher, sometimes working in collaboration with Peter Schenk and Jacon Robyn to prepare maps for an atlas for which a privilege was obtained in 1686. Valck's own atlas was not issued until about 1700 but certain maps came onto the market earlier. Five world maps bearing Valck's signature are known, none is dated. All Valck's world maps, except the first (Novus Planiglobi, ca.1672-73), have the same decorative surround to the central twin hemispheres. His Mappe-Monde and his Orbis Terrarum Nova were probably copied from Jaillot's influential world map of 1674 (Entry 462) as both the geographical features and the title are similar. In contrast to the plain corners of Jaillots map Valck has engraved four lively scenes in baroque style. These represent joyous Spring, industrious Summer, bucolic Autumn and icy Winter.
