1726 Map of Bengal by Van der Aa after Valentijn – Dutch East Indies
Located in Langweer, NL
1726 Map of Bengal by Van der Aa after Valentijn – Dutch East Indies
This is an original antique map titled “Nieuwe Kaart van ’t Koninryk van Bengale,” published by Pieter van der Aa in Leiden in 1726. The map depicts the Kingdom of Bengal and surrounding regions, based on earlier work by François Valentijn, a Dutch East India Company (VOC) official and historian whose extensive writings on Asia were among the most important early European sources.
The engraving covers the Bengal region (modern-day Bangladesh and West Bengal, India), showing detailed river systems including the Ganges and its distributaries flowing into the Gulf of Bengal. Major towns, cities, and kingdoms are labelled in Dutch, such as Orixa (Orissa), Arracan, Tipera (Tripura), and Cos Assam (Assam). Mountain ranges are represented pictorially with stylised hachured peaks, while fertile plains are indicated with field patterns, adding visual texture to the map.
In the upper right is an elegant title cartouche with dedication to VOC officials, referencing Mathijs van den Broecke, a director in Bengal, and Johannes Lennep. A compass rose is positioned at the bottom, enhancing its decorative maritime appeal, with north oriented to the right as typical for Dutch maps of Asian regions in this period.
Pieter van der Aa (1659–1733) was a prolific publisher known for compiling maps from earlier explorers and engravers into elegant and collectible volumes. His works remain valued for their historical significance, decorative artistry, and connection to VOC trade networks and colonial history.
Condition:
Good condition. Strong impression with later hand colouring. Light age toning, faint foxing mainly in margins, and some creasing along original fold lines as issued. Fully suitable for framing.
Framing tips:
Frame this map in a slim gilt or dark wood frame to highlight its decorative hand colouring. Use an off-white archival mat to accentuate the engraving and protect the edges. UV-protective glazing is recommended to maintain colour vibrancy and paper integrity.

Original Antique Blaeu Map of Karst, Carniola, Istria, and Trieste, circa 1640
Located in Langweer, NL
Blaeu Map of Karst, Carniola, Istria, and Trieste, circa 1640
This is an original antique map titled “Karstia, Carniola, Histria et Windorum Marchia,” published by Willem Blaeu in Amsterdam circa 1640. The map depicts the historical regions of Karst (Karstia), Carniola (modern-day Slovenia), Istria (the peninsula shared by Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy), and the Windic March, a medieval border territory.
The engraving shows detailed place names, rivers, mountains, and settlements across present-day Slovenia, northeastern Italy, and northwestern Croatia. The Gulf of Trieste is prominently illustrated at the lower left, with Trieste labelled and coastal settlements clearly indicated. The Adriatic Sea is elegantly engraved with stippled waters, a compass rose, rhumb lines, and a sailing ship, enhancing its decorative maritime appeal.
In the upper left corner is a beautifully designed cartouche bearing the title within a scrollwork frame with foliage and drapery motifs. The lower left includes a mileage scale in Italian miles and a dedication to Guiljelmus Blaeu excudit, confirming its publication from the Blaeu workshop.
Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571–1638) was one of the leading Dutch cartographers of the early 17th century, succeeded by his son Joan Blaeu. Their maps were known for their precision, aesthetic engraving, and clarity, making the Blaeu atlases the most prestigious publications of the Dutch Golden Age.
Condition:
Good condition. Strong, clean impression on laid paper with wide margins. Light age toning and faint foxing in blank margins, minor creasing along the original centre fold as issued. No tears or repairs noted. Fully suitable for framing.
Framing tips:
Frame this map in a thin black, walnut, or gilt frame to enhance its historic character. Use an off-white or cream archival mat to highlight the detailed engraving and preserve the sheet edges. UV-protective glazing is recommended to protect the paper and ensure its clarity and integrity over time.

1794 Map of Jamaica by Bryan Edwards – Parishes, Plantations, Settlements
Located in Langweer, NL
1794 Bryan Edwards Map of Jamaica – Parishes, Plantations, Settlements
This is an important antique map titled “A Map of the Island of Jamaica, Divided into Counties and Parishes,” created by Bryan Edwards in 1794. It was published in the second edition of his influential work *The History of the British West Indies*, which provided detailed insights into the geography, society, and economy of the Caribbean at the height of British colonial influence.
The map meticulously depicts Jamaica divided into its traditional counties and parishes, each shaded to aid visual differentiation. Major settlements are clearly labelled, including Kingston, Montego Bay, Spanish Town, and Falmouth. The island’s intricate network of rivers, mountains, and coastal features are rendered with careful hachure and stipple shading to indicate elevation and terrain. Edwards uses small circular symbols to denote the locations of numerous sugar plantations that formed the backbone of Jamaica’s economy during this period, each plantation representing not only agricultural wealth but also the grim history of enslaved African labour central to the island’s prosperity.
Further notations identify churches, barracks, forts, and ports, demonstrating the comprehensive utility of this map for historical research into colonial infrastructure. The map even marks Bryan...

Title: Portrait of Justus Sustermans, Flemish Painter to the Grand Duke of Florence
Description:
This is an antique engraving of Justus Sustermans (1597-1681), a renowned Flemish Baroque portrait painter born in Antwerp and active primarily at the Medici court in Florence. The engraving shows Sustermans half-length, wearing a richly detailed buttoned robe with a lace collar, with his hair in loose curls, and his right hand resting elegantly. Below the portrait is inscribed:
IVSTVS SVTTERMANS ANTVERPIENSIS PICTOR MAGNI DVCIS FLORENTINI

This engraving is after Anthony van Dyck’s etched portrait of Justus Sustermans from his Iconography series, originally etched by van Dyck circa 1630–1641.
