Antique Map Louisiana & Mississippi Valley — Florida Region, Bonne c.1780
Antique Map Louisiana & Mississippi Valley — Florida Region, Bonne c.1780

Antique Map Louisiana & Mississippi Valley — Florida Region, Bonne c.1780

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique Map Louisiana & Mississippi Valley — Florida Region, Bonne c.1780 This finely engraved eighteenth-century map of Louisiana and Florida by Rigobert Bonne represents a significant example of Enlightenment-era cartography focused on the southeastern regions of North America. Engraved circa 1780, the map reflects Bonne’s influential role as Ingénieur-Hydrographe de la Marine and chief cartographer at the Dépôt de la Marine in Paris, where he succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin and advanced a more scientific and systematic approach to mapping. His work marked a shift away from ornate decorative cartouches toward clarity, precise geographic information, and standardized measurement, qualities fully evident in this composition. Titled “Carte de la Louisiane et de la Floride,” the map provides a detailed overview of the Mississippi River basin and adjacent territories extending from the Illinois country in the north to the Gulf of Mexico and Florida peninsula in the south. Major rivers, settlements, indigenous territories, and colonial regions are carefully delineated, reflecting contemporary European knowledge following decades of exploration and colonial rivalry between France, Spain, and Britain. The Mississippi River system is prominently rendered, emphasizing its strategic role in trade, exploration, and territorial control. Key locations such as New Orleans, Natchez, the Gulf Coast, and various tribal territories appear throughout the map, illustrating the complex political and geographic landscape of late eighteenth-century North America. Bonne’s restrained engraving style enhances the map’s readability. Delicate hachuring indicates relief, while structured grid lines and refined typography reinforce the scientific clarity associated with Enlightenment mapping practices. The inclusion of an inset map adds geographic context and reflects the cartographer’s commitment to comprehensive representation. As part of Bonne’s mature output, this map appeals both to collectors of early American cartography and to those interested in historical depictions of the Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast. Its vertical format makes it especially suitable for decorative display, while its historical significance underscores its importance within the evolution of European geographic knowledge. Condition report: Good antique condition with age-related toning, visible central fold as issued, light scattered spotting, and minor handling wear consistent with eighteenth-century paper; margins remain adequate for framing. Framing tips: Particularly effective in a dark walnut or black frame with an ivory or warm off-white mat; the vertical orientation suits narrow wall spaces or pairs well with other Bonne maps for a cohesive gallery presentation. Technique: Copperplate engraving Maker: Rigobert Bonne, France, circa 1780 Keyword block: Louisiana antique...

Aztec & Early Mexican Costumes, Set of 2 Antique Prints, 1500–1525, ca.1880

Located in Langweer, NL

Aztec & Early Mexican Costumes, Set of 2 Antique Prints, 1500–1525 This striking pair of early 20th-century costume plates offers a vivid and historically valuable depiction of Aztec and early Mexican dress during the 16th century. Illustrated by Max Tilke and published by Ernst Wasmuth A.G. in Berlin, these prints belong to one of the most respected costume‐historical series of the period. Tilke was known for his meticulous research and his ability to translate ethnographic sources into richly detailed, accurate visual reconstructions. These two plates are among the most vibrant and desirable in the entire publication. Plate 144 presents warriors and nobles in full ceremonial and military attire. Jaguar warriors, eagle warriors, officers, and elite fighters are shown with their distinctive feathered headdresses, painted shields, quilted cotton armor (ichcahuipilli), and symbolic iconography referencing Aztec cosmology and rank. The colors and patterns reflect authentic codex sources, making the plate particularly valuable to historians of pre-Columbian culture. Plate 145 focuses on social classes and civilian dress from the late pre-Hispanic and early colonial period. Market vendors, weavers, young nobles, priests, and high-ranking women appear wearing garments such as tilmas, breechcloths, embroidered huipiles, feathered adornments, and body paint. Together, the two plates offer a rare, well-documented overview of everyday and ceremonial dress from Mexico around 1500–1525. The printing quality is exceptionally fine, with rich color lithography capturing the tonal variations of feathers, textiles, and painted patterns. These plates make a powerful impression when framed and are well suited for collectors of ethnographic art, museum-oriented interiors, historians of Mesoamerica, and designers seeking authentic cultural references. It is now uncommon to find both Mexican plates...
