About the Item
This large hand-colored map entitled "Le Comte De Hollande Dressee sur les Memoires les plus Nouveaux" was originally created by Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville. This version was published by Hubert Jaillot in "Atlas Nouveau" in Paris in 1692. It depicts the North Holland province of the Netherlands, including the North Sea, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft, Utrecht, Haarlem, as well as many other landmarks.
An ornate title cartouche in the left upper corner consists of 2 putti holding a royal crest and two mythical half men, half animal figures.
The map also includes a separate page from the original atlas which includes an alphabetical table of cities and villages within Holland. It is very rare for these additional pages to be included with one of these maps.
The map consists of two sheets joined as one along a horizontal joint. The map has original hand-coloring. It is printed on antique hand-made laid, chain-linked paper with wide margins. The sheet measures 38" high and 24.88" wide. There is a central horizontal joint, as issued. There is mild color offset from the opposite side of the map resulting from having been folded in the atlas for hundreds of years. There is minimal discoloration in the margins, but the map is otherwise in very good condition.
Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville (1600-1667) was one of the greatest French cartographather of French cartography. Sanson opened his first printing business in Paris in 1638. The king recognized his skill and knowledge and made him the official geographer to the court. He eventually served two kings in this capacity. Sanson was succeeded by his sons and son-in-law in the business and as geographers to the king. In 1692 his plates were purchased by the prominent Parisian cartographer Alexis Hubert Jaillot, who continued to publish his maps and atlases with a dual Sanson and Jaillot attribution. Jaillot went on to serve King Louis XIV.

View AllBelgium and the Netherlands: A Hand-colored 17th Century Map by Visscher
By Nicolaus Visscher
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an original hand-colored 17th century map of Belgium by Nicolaus (Nicolas) Visscher II entitled "Belgium Foederatum emendate auctum et novissime editum", published in Amsterdam in 1678. The map shows the seven provinces comprising the Belgium federation or the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands or the Dutch Republic as it was also known. The republic was formed when an alliance of seven Dutch provinces in the Spanish Netherlands revolted against rule by Spain in 1579 (the Union of Utrecht) and declared their independence in 1581 (the Act of Abjuration). The seven provinces were Groningen, Frisia, Overijssel, Guelders, Utrecht, Holland and Zeeland. This was a predecessor state to the Netherlands and the first fully independent Dutch nation state. Amsterdam, Delft, Rouen, Utrecht, Brugge, Ghent, and Antwerp are all included on the map. A small inset map in the lower right depicts the course of the Maas River from Maastricht to Wessem. There is a decorative cartouche in the upper left corner and a distance scale cartouche in the lower right corner.
The map is presented in an attractive antiqued medium brown-colored wood frame with gold-colored inner and outer trim and a light tan-colored fabric mat. The frame measures 26.63" high by 30" wide by 0.75" deep. There is some darkening of the red areas in the map, presumably related to oxidation of the original iron containing pigment over time. There are also a few scattered spots. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
