Description: Antique map titled 'Erster Abriss der Stadt Jerusalem wie sie Furnemblich zur Zeit des Hernn Christi beschaffen (..).'

The first edition appeared in 1641. Condition: Good, given age. Edges with a few small tears. Small restored tear bottom centre fold, extending 5 cm into the image; 2 very faint spots in the upper part (in the 'air' ); one small spot in (left lower part). Soiling in the margins. Original middle fold as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully.

  • Antique Town Plan of Emden ‘Germany’ by Braun & Hogenberg, 1597
    Located in Langweer, NL
    Antique map titled 'Embdena (..)'. Old, antique bird's-eye view plan of Emden, Germany. This bird's-eye view from the southwest over the Dollart shows Emden, which developed from a trading settlement in the 7th/8th centuries into a city as late as late 14th century. In 1494 it was granted staple rights, and in 1536 the harbour was extended. In the mid-16th century Emden's port was thought to have the most ships in Europe. Its population then was about 5,000, rising to 15,000 by the end of the 16th century. The Ems flowed directly under the city walls, but its course was changed in the 17th century by the construction of a canal. Emden has canals within its city limits, a typical feature of Dutch towns, which also enabled the extension of the harbour. Emden's first herring company was founded in 1553, and in 1595 Emden was created a Free Imperial City under the protection of Holland. Published by Braun...
