About the Item
1720 Maps of the Holy Land: Ancient and Modern by De Fer and Danet
This set of two 1720 maps, published by Nicolas de Fer and Danet in Paris, presents a unique juxtaposition of the Holy Land during ancient times and its modern configuration under Turkish rule. These maps, based on the work of Philippe de la Rue, are intricately detailed and hand-colored in original outline hues, offering a vivid depiction of the region's geographical and historical evolution.
The first map, "Terre Sainte Moderne," showcases the Holy Land as governed by the Turks in the early 18th century. It meticulously illustrates the region's division into administrative areas (sangiacs or governments), highlighting key towns, routes, and natural features. The extensive notes in French provide valuable insights into the area's political and geographical landscape during this period.
The second map, "Descriptio Acurata Terrae Promissae per Sortes," depicts the ancient Holy Land as described in biblical texts, specifically the territorial divisions among the 12 tribes of Israel. This map is a remarkable representation of the promised land's rich history, featuring key biblical sites and references to significant events.
Both maps are adorned with decorative cartouches and compass roses, reflecting the artistic style and craftsmanship of early 18th-century cartography. The detailed labeling and thoughtful design make these maps not only valuable historical documents but also exquisite decorative pieces.
Condition Report:
Both maps have margins cut close to the image borders and are backed with strong paper for reinforcement. The original outline colors remain vibrant, enhancing the maps’ historical charm.
Framing and Matting Tips:
For a sophisticated display, frame each map individually with an archival mat in neutral tones to complement the delicate colors. Consider using matching antique-style frames to create a harmonious set. UV-protective glass is essential to safeguard the original colors. Including a custom plaque or description with each frame can further highlight their historical and artistic significance. Displaying the maps side by side can create an engaging narrative of the Holy Land's transformation over time.

MAKER Nicolas de Fer 1646-1720
The French cartographer and engraver, Nicolas de Fer, was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.
Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father, Antoine de Fer, owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve, Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother, Genevieve, took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V...
