1645 Blaeu Map of Westmorland, Northern England – Hand Colored, Decorative
Located in Langweer, NL
This map, "Westmoria Comitatus; Anglice Westmorland", was created by the esteemed Dutch cartographer Willem Blaeu and was published around 1645 in 'Le Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas'. It provides a detailed look at Westmorland, a historic county in northern England, based on John Speed’s earlier map. The map features numerous place names, parks, and estates, including Brigster Park, Colnhead Park, Crosbye, and Midleton, along with a detailed depiction of Windermere (spelled Wynandermere) and the surrounding regions.
Additional Features:
- Hand-colored map, with vibrant and detailed colors that bring out the topographical and decorative features.
- Includes intricate cartouches, such as the royal coat of arms, a decorative title cartouche topped with putti (cherubic figures), and six coats of arms (two left blank).
- Depicts the region’s rich landscape, including the rolling hills and mountainous terrain of northern England.
- French text on the verso, indicative of the publication period from 1645-1648, part of Blaeu’s highly sought-after atlases.
- Map shows precise details of small towns, estates, and parks, such as Brigster Park, Colnhead Park, Crosbye, and Wynandermere (now Windermere Lake).
This map would be of particular interest to collectors of English county maps, antique maps of northern England, 17th-century cartography, and the decorative works of Willem Blaeu. Blaeu's maps are renowned for their accuracy, artistic beauty, and historical significance.
