About the Item
Antique Map: Les Embouchures de la Somme et de Bresle (Estuaries of the Somme and Bresle)
This beautifully detailed antique map, titled *Les Embouchures de la Somme et de Bresle*, showcases the coastline of northern France, specifically focusing on the estuaries of the Somme and Bresle rivers. Part of a larger series of maps that collectively depict a significant portion of the Southern Netherlands, this engraving captures the intricate geography of the region with remarkable precision.
The map provides a detailed view of the coastal towns, rivers, and natural features that define the area. Notable locations such as Dieppe and St. Valery are highlighted, reflecting their historical significance as key port towns and hubs of trade and navigation. The surrounding rivers and estuaries are meticulously rendered, showing the natural waterways that played a crucial role in the development of the region.
This engraving is enhanced by the inclusion of charming decorative elements, such as sailing ships in the surrounding waters, adding a sense of movement and life to the map. The inclusion of forests and topographical details in the inland areas demonstrates the mapmaker's commitment to providing a comprehensive representation of the region.
The map's historical context lies in its origin as part of a series that aimed to document the territories of the Southern Netherlands and northern France during a period of significant political and geographical change in Europe. Such maps were invaluable tools for navigation, trade, and territorial administration, making them both functional and artistic.

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania.
Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'.
This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's.
The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked.
The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east.
There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso.
Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte.
