Colonial Cartography: The Banda Islands - the Epicenter of the Spice Trade, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Kaart der Bandasche Eilanden' with a view titled 'Gezigt van het Eiland Neira en de Goening Api'. Rare and attractive map of the Banda Islands with a large view of Banda Neira and Gunung Api. One of 12 maps from ‘Atlas van Overzeesche bezittingen’ (Atlas of Oversea Possessions) by J.S. van den Bosch. J.S. van den Bosch (1780 – 1844), Major General, Knight of the 3rd Class of the Military William Order.
It is a rare and visually appealing representation of the Banda Islands, a group of ten small volcanic islands in the Banda Sea, part of present-day Indonesia.
The map is one of twelve from the “Atlas van Overzeesche bezittingen” (Atlas of Overseas Possessions) by J.S. van den Bosch, who was a Major General and a Knight of the Military William Order. Johannes van den Bosch, who lived from 1780 to 1844, had a significant military and administrative career, including serving as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. His works and collections are reflective of the Dutch colonial interest and administration in the region.
The Banda Islands, depicted in this map, are particularly famous for being the sole source of nutmeg and mace before the mid-19th century. Nutmeg was highly valued in European cuisine, as a preservative, and as a medicine. The monopoly on these spices made the Banda Islands extremely important during the age of spice trade, which also led to intense colonial competition and conflict, notably between the Dutch and the British.
The map itself provides a detailed topographical representation of the Banda Islands, possibly with depth soundings and navigational hazards indicated, which would have been essential information for the ships of the Dutch East India Company and other seafarers. The large view of Banda Neira and Gunung Api (literally "Fire Mountain...

Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain's Capital Province
Located in Langweer, NL
The map is of the province of Madrid, the capital region of Spain, as it appeared in 1901. Here are the key features it displays:
The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid.
Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus.
Red lines depict the roads and railways, outlining the infrastructure that connects Madrid's various towns and cities within the province and beyond.
Symbols and labels mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with Madrid itself likely being the focal point. Dotted lines may represent the administrative divisions within the province. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other geographic features.
The coat of arms of Madrid, featuring a bear and a strawberry tree (madroño), is prominently featured, symbolizing the city's and the province's historical coat of arms.
About the province of Madrid:
Madrid is not only the capital of Spain but also the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, both geographically and politically. The city is renowned for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum's works by Goya, Velázquez, and other Spanish masters. The province of Madrid is characterized by a blend of historical and modern elements, with a rich cultural life that includes theater, opera, and flamenco, as well as gastronomy that features a mix of traditional Spanish dishes and international cuisine...

1814 Map of "Russian Empire" Ric.r032
Located in Norton, MA
1814 Map of
"Russian Empire"
Ric.r032
Russian Empire. Description: This is an 1814 John Thomson map of the Russian Empire. The map depicts the region from the Baltic Sea, Prussia, and Sweden to the Aleutian Islands and from the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow River. Highly detailed, myriad cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, and Kharkov. Rivers and mountain ranges are also identified, as are islands and numerous locations along the coastlines. It is important to note that the long-disputed sea between Korea and Japan is identified as the 'Sea of Japan.
Historical Context:
In 1815, Tsarist Russia emerged from the Napoleonic Wars economically insolvent and politically fearful of the Revolutionary fervor that had just swept through Europe. In order to shore up Russia's economic position, the Tsars began an aggressive series of expansions into the Caucuses and Central Asia that would vastly increase the landmass of the Russian Empire.
