About the Item

This 1882 map of Belgium and The Netherlands, published by Blackie and Son as part of the 'Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World,' offers a detailed representation of the two neighboring countries. It highlights their political boundaries, major cities, towns, and transportation networks, reflecting the infrastructure of the time. The map provides a clear view of key cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, and Antwerp, showcasing their roles as significant urban centers. Topographical features, including rivers such as the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt, are prominently displayed, emphasizing the importance of waterways in the region's economy and transport. The map also captures the flat landscapes of The Netherlands, including the Zuiderzee (now largely reclaimed as the IJsselmeer) and the intricate network of canals. In Belgium, the rolling hills and urban density of Flanders and Wallonia are well-depicted. Subtle pastel shading is used to differentiate regions, adding a visual charm to the cartography. Condition report: The map is in good condition with light toning and occasional spotting consistent with its age. The engraving remains sharp, and the colors are vibrant. There are no visible tears or repairs, and the margins are intact. Framing tips: Use a classic wooden frame in walnut or dark oak to complement the map’s vintage character. A double mat with a cream or off-white inner mat and a soft green or light beige outer mat enhances the delicate pastel tones. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading and preserve the map for long-term display.

Belgium 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. The Visscher family were one of the great cartographic families of the 17th century.
