1579 Ornate Map of Burgundy County by Ferdinand de Lannoy Description of the Map: This is a beautifully detailed map of the Burgundy region, titled "Bvrgvndiae Comitatus Recentiss. Descriptio," created by Ferdinand de Lannoy and published in 1579. The map is an original and a fine example of Renaissance cartography, with its rich, hand-colored details showing cities, rivers, and topographical features. It includes parts of neighboring regions such as Lotharingiae (Lorraine) and parts of Helvetia (Switzerland), indicating its extensive coverage. The map is adorned with a decorative title cartouche and a striking coat of arms, enhancing its visual appeal. Maker: Ferdinand de Lannoy, though not as widely known as Ortelius, contributed significantly to the cartographic representations of European regions during the Renaissance. His maps are valued for their artistic merit and accuracy. Year of Publication: 1579. Collectors might be particularly interested in the depiction of Burgundy due to its historical importance and the aesthetic qualities of the map. The inclusion of parts of Lorraine and Switzerland might also appeal to those interested in these areas. Condition of the Map: The map appears to be in very good condition, considering its age. The colors are vibrant, suggesting careful preservation, and there are no visible major tears or water damage. The paper shows typical signs of aging like slight yellowing, which adds to the authenticity and charm of this antique piece. This map would appeal to collectors who are interested in the historical and geographical aspects of Burgundy, as well as the artistic and cartographic style of the late 16th century.
