PLATE I
Early Antarctica appeared as the second publication of the 'Map Collectors' Circle,' which was founded by Tooley in 1963. Before discontinuing publication in 1975, the Circle issued 110 monographs. Early Antarctica later was included, unchanged, as an Addendum to Tooley's The Mapping of Australia and Antarctica, second revised edition (London: Holland Press, 1985).
I've long wanted to place this useful publication on the Antarctic Circle website but had been unable to determine who held the rights. Tooley is deceased, the Map Collectors' Circle is no more, likewise the Holland Press. I've consulted with mapsellers and have posted a query on "MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography" and although there were responses, they did not lead me to the holder of the rights.
I have nonetheless gone ahead and included the paper below. If anyone can lead me to the holder of the rights, I would appreciate it. I will, of course, remove the paper if requested to do so by the holder of the rights.

THE South Pole has intrigued the mind of man for centuries and in recent years this interest has increased enormously. Many excellent accounts have been written on the exploration and discoveries in this area, but curiously enough the history of the early mapping of the region has been almost totally neglected. The catalogues of the British Museum and the Royal Geographical Society under the heading Antarctica list less than a dozen maps before 1840, and the more recent and excellent supplement to the Library of Congress Geographical Atlases by Miss Le Gear records 18 printed maps. All these libraries have of course far greater resources but no-one so far as I know has attempted to list them. It is not possible in the following short article to accomplish this, but an attempt has been made to shed a little more light on this unclassified material, to indicate lines along which a more exhaustive study could be made, and to encourage an interest in one of the most challenging areas of modern times.
The Geographical history of Antarctica is of ancient and venerable origin. Although the very earliest known maps occasionally referred to a land mass in the unknown South, the T O maps lack all such reference. The T O map, a simple circle divided into three compartments representing Europe, Asia and Africa, is constructed by placing a T within an O. This device coincides happily with early Christian teaching, the T representing the Cross spanning the world, and the three compartments, the three sons of Noah—Shem, Ham and Japheth. The earliest printed T O map (1482) is reproduced on the cover of this publication and has been chosen as the emblem of the Map Collectors' Circle.
Another simple form devised to represent the world was a circle divided by horizontal lines into sections Frigid, Temperate, Torrid, Temperate and Frigid. These were known as climatic maps. Elaborations of both forms were evolved with the passage of time, the southern segment representing Antarctica.
That there was land to the far north was known to the ancients, and that being so, the theory was advanced that there must be logically a land mass in the far south to counterbalance the globe. Further it was held that the equatorial or torrid belt in the climatic map became so hot towards its centre as to be uninhabitable and even impassable to man.
Pomponius Mela in the first and Macrobius in the fifth century both postulated a vast southern continent occupying half the globe.
The knowledge of the ancient world was summed up by Claudius Ptolemy in Alexandria about 150 A.D., who, in his design for a world map, landlocked the Indian Ocean. All these theories reflecting the whole weight of ancient thought favoured the existence of a great antarctic continent.
The early Christian church frowned upon a belief in the Antipodes, and finally declared it heresy. Geography for a time reverted to the old belief in a flat round world and maps of the wheel or T O type were the only ones approved.
The first great increase of knowledge came to the West with the travels of the Polos in the 13th century. Nicolo, Maffeo, and Marco Polo by their travels and reports proved the existence of lands beyond the limits of the ancient world, Marco Polo in particular reporting lands of great richness in the far south that he named Beach, Lucach and Maletur.
The revival of learning, the rounding of Africa and, above all, the discovery of America led inquiring minds to turn eagerly to the south. The classics were translated and the tradition of a great south land again took hold of men's minds both for intellectual and utilitarian motives.
Amerigo Vespucci reported that on a voyage to Brasil he was driven by storm 500 miles to the south east where he sighted land which was named Terra da vista or Land Seen. Two unidentified Dutch vessels attempting the same journey a few years later had a similar experience and named their landfall "Pressillgtlandt."
The motive behind 16th century exploration was the desire to reach the Indies, the repository of wealth from ancient times, and deliberate attempts were made to round South America with this end in view. Once accomplished, however, by Magellan in 1520, further exploration towards the south was for a long time afterwards accidental, owing to ships being blown off course by the prevailing bad weather. One famous voyage was that of Sir Francis Drake in 1578. Driven by gales to 57° south, on the wind moderating, he turned north and encountered some islands which he named in honour of his queen, the "Elizabethides." These were almost certainly the Tierra del Fuego group and are most charmingly shown on a map by Hondius published by Le Clerc in 1602 (Plate I). Drake's discovery was misunderstood by later geographers and shifted about the map, but the misunderstanding persisted well into the 18th century.
The early voyages seemed to confirm the existence of a great south land as these odd discoveries and reports were thought to be projections of a southern continent. Thus, when the engraving and printing of maps was invented, the tradition of a great south land built up over the centuries was generally accepted by geographers including the greatest and most influential.
Oronce Finé in 1531 drew a vast Terra Australis round the South Pole, and in this he was closely followed by Mercator in 1538. Mercator, the greatest geographer of the 16th century, in his large world map of 1569 shows an immense southern continent stretching across the whole of the base of his map. This was copied by Ortelius in 1570 and as the atlas of Ortelius became popular (no less than 40 editions appeared between 1570 and 1612) the Mercator concept spread over the greater part of Europe.
Other cartographers to show a great southern land mass were Schoner 1520, Cimerlinus after Finé in 1566 who drew a Terra Australis with the quaint remark "not fully examined," Camocius in the same year, Bertelli in 1571, Sir Humphrey Gilbert 1576, Drake 1590, Wytfliet 1597 and Linschoten 1598.
The exceptions were few. Sebastian Munster in his world map of 1540 shows a moderate land mass under South America only, leaving the Pacific and South Atlantic clear of land. In this lie was followed by Gastaldi in 1546, and in 1600 Edward Wright composed a world map for Hakluyt leaving the southern ocean completely free of land. Peter Martyr and some of the Portolan makers followed suit. Nevertheless, the popular press in the first part of the 17th century respected the tradition and reputation of the early 16th century masters: and Hondius 1602, Kaerius 1614, Speed 1627, Visscher 1636, Sanson 1650 and Blaeu up to 1660 all show a great southern land area.
As the ships of the trading nations penetrated ever further south, the conception of a huge southern continent was gradually whittled away and, after the turn of the century, disappeared altogether for a time. No south land appears on the world maps of De Wit, the younger Visscher or Allard in the latter half of the 17th century, nor in the beginning of the 18th century on the maps of Mortier, De Lisle, Senex or Homann. This is understandable for practically nothing was added to the sum of knowledge of those regions during the whole of the 17th century. Hendrik Brewer sailed round Staten Island in 1643 and found it to be of small extent. Antony La Roche, driven off course in 1675, discovered land but his calculations were vague, and it may have been the Falkland Islands or possibly South Georgia that he reached. Bartholomew Sharp in 1681, Ambrose Cowley in 1648, and Edward Davis in 1687, all left their marks and their names upon the map for a time but the sum total of their influence was negligible.
The old conception of a southern continent, though discredited, did not entirely die out, however, for it was revived by Chatelain about 1715, used by Jaillot in 1719, and Weigel about 1740 reproduced the Sanson map of 1651.
To go back a little in time, if we except the southern projection of De Jode 1593, which was part of a world map, the first map to be devoted exclusively to the Polar Regions and named as such is the Polus Antarcticus of H. Hondius. It depicts a string of islands in a practically straight line, north and south, from Magellanica to New Guinea with a hypothetical wavy line curving round towards the coast of West Australia. The map of Hondius was reissued by Janson at various dates and again as late as 1700 by Peter Schenk, thus having an effective life of over 50 years.
Nicholas Sanson, the father of French cartography, also produced a South Polar Map not long after Hondius. It was published in 1657 with the title "Les Deux Poles Arctiques" by Pierre Mariette in Paris. Sanson's "antarctique" fills practically the whole of the hemisphere save for the intrusion of the tip of South America. It was reissued by Moulart Sanson about 1710 and, as previously stated, by Weigel in Nuremburg about 1740.
Guillaume de Lisle, born 1675, and appointed Premier Geographe du Roi in 1718, is one of the great figures in the history of mapmaking. One of the first to adopt scientific principles based on the astronomical observations of the Academie Royale in Paris, he published in 1714 a "Hemisphere Meridional." Finely engraved, this map shows verified discoveries only, his most southerly lands being Tasmania and New Zealand, and one solitary query "Land supposed to have been seen by Sir Francis Drake." De Lisle's map was reproduced many times, the first important addition being the discovery by Bouvet of Terre de Circoncision in 1739 which was added to the De Lisle plate.
De Lisle was succeeded by Philippe Buache, who at first followed in his predecessor's steps producing on Sept. 5 1739 a Carte des Terres Australes showing Bouvet's Discovery of 1st January of the same year with the track of the ships making the expedition. This was a most creditable performance. Unfortunately, in later life, he became the greatest exponent of theoretical geography. Taking real and reported discoveries, he joined them all by one continuous line with the wildest cartographical results. In this he was followed by other French geographers such as Denis 1764, Clouet 1785 and Moithey 1787, all of whose work was far removed from the careful observations of Guillaume de Lisle. Another excellent geographer was the great Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville who did not abhor blank spaces, but finished his line where his information terminated. De Lisle's map continued to be issued by Van Ewyk in 1752 and, with corrections, as late as 1782 by Dezauche.
In England in the 18th century neither Senex 1710 or Moll 1719 showed any southern continent in their large world maps, but the Senex map of 1725 bears a note "Because of ye much greater cold and ye seas being more frozen towards ye South than North Pole, discoveries have not been made so far to ye southward as to ye northward but open seas are never known to be frozen, only ye borders near ye land thro ye great quantity of fresh water brought from ye land; whence it may reasonably be concluded that there lies much more land tho less discovered about ye South Pole than the North Pole; that more discoveries have been made to ye Northwards proceeds likewise from Discoverers living nearest that Pole."
Senex's contemporary, Herman Moll, about 1720, as if uncertain of his ground showed no south land on his large world map but, nevertheless, issued a small map of the South Pole based on the Moulart-Sanson map of this area. On his world map, though he showed no land, he has within the Antarctic circle the somewhat ingenuous remark "The inhabitants if any there be who dwell within this circle have continual night when ye sun is in ye Tropick of Cancer and continual day when in ye Tropick of Capricorn."
Towards the end of the century the first real sustained attempt to delimit the bounds of the Antarctic land was undertaken by the British Government. The expedition was entrusted to one of the ablest navigators of his day, Capt. James Cook. Cook's efforts were remarkable. He penetrated farther south and more extensively than any man before him. Though his recognition was slight in his own country, he won universal fame, and was honoured in all the countries of western Europe. Henceforward no map of any pretension relating to the southern hemisphere was published unless it was based on the surveys of Capt. Cook. Cook's great achievement was to free the southern seas from the geographical fantasies of earlier cartographers. In a sense his results were negative for he actually encountered little land. He did, however, name Georgia and discover Sandwich Land.
Apart from Cook's epoch-making voyages, several minor contributions to general knowledge were made in the 18th century. Bouvet's discovery of 1738-9 of Cape Circoncision has already been mentioned. In 1762 the ship Aurora reported the presence of two islands 35 leagues west of the Falklands, seen again by the San Miguel in 1779 and 1790. Finally in 1794 the Spanish Government sent the corvette Atrevida to fix their position. The Spanish ship Lion in 1756 sighted land in 55° south, probably South Georgis. Kerguelen Tremarec, a noble of Brittany, fired with the idea of a brilliant discovery in southern latitudes, fitted out an expedition and eventually found land which he named New France and hastening home, wrote of his discovery in glowing terms. On a second visit in 1773 he found the territory sterile and uninhabitable, and changed the name to Land of Desolation. It was later named after its discoverer.
Marion Dufresne and Crozet discovered two small islands in 1772. All these discoveries were marked on maps before the end of the 18th century.
The first half of the 19th century, was a period of the greatest activity in far southern latitudes, both for official government expeditions and private trading enterprises. There was an enormous demand for oil for domestic lighting, and British and American sealers scoured the southern seas. Most of the logs kept on these sealing vessels were kept secret. An exception was the firm of Enderby Brothers who combined with their legitimate trading business a thirst for general knowledge and a desire for the general advancement of science. Their ships' captains were instructed where practicable to make observations and recordings of any facts of geographical note, and these observations were widely circulated for the benefit of humanity, to ensure safer passage in those dangerous seas.
Capt. William Smith in the brig Williams of Blyth, in October 1819, discovered land, sent his mate ashore to plant the flag, and named the land New South Britain. Later he changed the name to New South Shetlands. Two years later an American ship, the Hero under Capt. Palmer, sailing in the same waters discovered the land now named after him.
In 1820 James Weddel made a voyage on behalf of the Enderby Brothers. In a sealer of 160 tons, the brig Jane of Leith, he surveyed the South Shetlands and rediscovered the South Orkneys. On a second voyage in 1822 he reached 74.15° south. In 1830-1 John Biscoe in the Tula also employed by the Enderbys discovered land which he named after his employers, and, finally, a further discovery also due to the Enderbys was made in 1839 when John Balleny, their employee in the Eliza Scott of 154 tons, found the islands named after him.
Meanwhile, expeditions were sent out under the auspices of various governments. In 1819 the Czar Alexander I sent Bellinghausen with two ships, the Vostock and the Mirni, on a voyage of South Polar exploration. In 1821 Bellinghausen discovered and named two small islands, Peter and Alexander, at that time the most southerly land known.
Between 1838-40 a French expedition under Dumont Durville with two ships, the Astrolabe and the Zelie, visited and explored the South Shetlands and named the coasts they found Louis Philippe Land and Adelie Land.
A more important voyage was made in 1840 under the auspices of the British Admiralty. Entrusted to the command of Capt. James Ross, the two ships, the Erebus and Terror, penetrated further south than any before them. Ross in 1842 reached 78.10° south, found and named Victoria Land. Its two volcanoes were named after his ships, Mounts Erebus and Terror.
A large American expedition under Lieut. Wilkes, U.S.N., set sail with five ships; the Vincennes, 780 tons; Peacock, 650 tons; Porpoise, 230 tons; Sea Gull, 110 tons; and Flying Fish, 96 tons. The Sea Gull was lost in 1839 and the Peacock wrecked in 1841. Wilkes reported a considerable stretch of Antarctic coast between Victoria Land and Enderby and named it Wilkes Land.
Durville, Wilkes and Ross were the last of a series of expeditions towards the South Pole. A century of feverish activity ceased, and the Antarctic lay quiet and undisturbed. It was the end of an epoch and South Polar exploration was not revived until the end of the 19th century.
The following list is a slight foundation upon which it is hoped a more exhaustive bibliography can be founded.
1 1531 FINÉ, ORONCE. Nova et Integra Universi Orbis Descriptio, 1531. [Paris Galliot Du Pre]. Woodcut. 41 x 30 cms.
Oronce Finé, born 1494, is famous for his cordiform world maps. His first world map of 1519 was a single heart shaped form and was copied by Apian in 1530. In this map of 1531 he introduced a double-heart shaped world map, and in 1536 he returned to a single cordiform. Both forms were copied by other geographers, the most notable being Mercator in 1538.
On the right-hand hemisphere in this map he depicts a large Antarctic Continent round the South Pole.
2 1538 MERCATOR, GERARD. [Map of the World in two heart-shaped Hemispheres. Louvain]. 1538. 52 x 28-1/2 cms.
The first world map by Mercator. The right-hand hemisphere shows a large South Polar continent and is based on the Finé map of 1531. Mercator's large world map of 1569 also shows an immense southern continent stretching along the whole of the base of the map as well as an inset of the Antarctic.
3 1545 MUNSTER, SEBASTIAN. Typus Universalls. 34-1/2 x 25-1/2 cms. [Basle, 1545].
Sebastian Munster was among the minority of those discarding the idea of a southern continent. In this woodcut map surrounded by clouds and windheads he shows the South Atlantic and Pacific clear of land except for a moderate land mass below the Strait of Magellan. He published two works, Geographia, first in 1540 and Cosmographia, first in 1544, the latter being republished at various dates up to 1628.
4 1546 GASTALDI, GIACOMO. Universale. [Venice, 1546]. 53 x 37 cms.
South Polar Regions restricted to one large land mass off the South coast of South America, marked Tierra del Fuego incognita, but otherwise the South Pacific and South Atlantic free of land.

Abraham Ortelius, born 1527 in Antwerp, was the first map publisher to issue a world atlas uniform in size and content, in effect the first modern atlas, in 1570. Over 40 editions in various languages were issued by 1612. This popularity gave a large circulation to the Ortelius image of the world.
Across the whole of the base of the map is a large land mass lettered Terra Australis nondum Cognitum. Tierra del Fuego is shown as part of this Polar continent with Psitacorum regio and on the extreme right a promontory named Beach Lucach and Maletur lands reported by Marco Polo.
6 1592 PLANCIUS. [Magallanica Terra Australis]. Diameter 31-1/2 cms. Part of the Planisfere of Peter Plancius, 1592.
Shows a South Polar continent similar to Mercator with Terra del Fugo (Fuego) as part of this mainland, Promontorium Terrae Australis, Psittacorum regio, Beach, Maletur and Lucach (below Java Major). He differs from Mercator in projecting his polar continent to join up with and include New Guinea.

A beautiful decorative map of the continent of America. Extremely rare. Its antarctic interest lies in the fact of its recording of the passage of Sir Francis Drake, for below Magellan it bears the legend "Insule Reginae Elizabethae ab Anglis detecta Anno 1579" and for its delineation of a great southern continent depicted by a string of islands stretching from Magellanica to New Guinea with the caption "described by Hernando Gallego in 1570".
12 1616 [BERTIUS, P.] Descriptio Terrae Sub australis. [Amstd., J. Hondius, 1616]. 13-1/4 x 9 cms.
