About the Item
The circa 1825 original engraving of "Syrie" by Giraldon Bovinet, based on the work of L. Vivien, is a historically significant map that reflects early 19th-century cartographic techniques and geographic knowledge of the Eastern Mediterranean region. Published as Numéro 47 by Ménard & Desenne, prominent French publishers at the time, this engraving is part of a broader series of maps that depicted the ancient and contemporary regions of the world.
The map shows Syria (Syrie) as understood during the early 19th century, covering a broader region that includes present-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and parts of Jordan. The area, referred to as Syria Propria in historical texts, was a significant territory in both biblical and classical histories, often associated with the ancient Levant and its civilizations.
Giraldon Bovinet was known for his detailed and precise engraving work, and this map exemplifies the care and craftsmanship that went into such pieces during this period. The engraving outlines various geographic features, including mountain ranges, rivers, and coastal areas. Borders are marked, with an emphasis on the division of territories within this vast region, while cities and significant locations are labeled meticulously.
The use of fine lines and hatching techniques highlights the topography of the area, giving viewers a clear sense of the terrain. The map includes longitude and latitude markers, a common practice in the era’s cartography, assisting in providing accurate geographic context. Additionally, the map is bordered with a decorative frame, which adds to its aesthetic value and reflects the neoclassical design style prevalent in early 19th-century France.
This engraving is not only a functional map but also a work of art, symbolizing the intersection of cartography, geography, and artistic expression during the period. The Ménard & Desenne publication firm played a significant role in disseminating such detailed geographic engravings, contributing to the broader European understanding of Middle Eastern regions.
As an artifact, this map serves as an important reminder of the historical and political dynamics of the time, offering insights into how Europe viewed and represented the lands of the Near East. It remains a valuable piece for both collectors of antique maps and historians interested in the geopolitical and geographic perceptions of the 19th century.

Anthony van Dyck, Engraving Ernest de Mansfeld, c. 1654, Portrait, Iconographie
By (After) Anthony Van Dyck
Located in Greven, DE
A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Ernest de Mansfeld's stately yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Ernest de Mansfeld was a German military commander during the early years of the Thirty Years War. Donning his armor and an ornate, lace collar, de Mansfeld appears as a strong commander. Without a hint of a smile, he calmly gazes out, the definition of cool and collected. Van Dyck accurately captures the sense that de Mansfeld is a man who takes his job seriously, a man worthy of commanding an army in battle.
This portrait is a Mauquoy-Hendrickx State II (of II), engraved by Robertus van Voerst in collaboration with Anthony van Dyck (Antwerp, 1559 - London, 1641) as part of his Iconographie series of engraved portraits of famous people...
