Antique Map of Flanders, Belgium by Homann Heirs, c.1735
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Comitatus Flandriae in omnes ejusdem subjecentes Ditioes (..).' Original antique map of Flanders, Belgium. This map details the coastline from Grevelingen to Zeeland at de Hont oste Westerschelde, south to below Douay, and east to Brussels. Beautifully engraved and highly detailed, the map shows forests, roads and canals, hundreds of tiny villages and several fortified towns including Brussels and Antwerp. The very decorative cartouche displays putti, a soldier, coat of arms and more.
Artists and Engravers: Following the long period of Dutch domination, the Homann family became the most important map publishers in Germany in the eighteenth century, the business being founded by J.B. Homann in Nuremberg about the year 1702. Soon after publishing his first atlas in 1707 he became a member of the Berlin academy of Sciences and in 1715 he was appointed Geographer to the Emperor. After the founder's death in 1724, the firm was continued under the direction of his son until 1730 and was then bequeathed to his heirs on the condition that it trades under the name of Homann Heirs. The firm remained in being until the next century and had a wide influence on map publishing in Germany. Apart from the atlases the firm published a very large number of individual maps. The Homanns produced a Neuer Atlas in 1714, a Grosser Atlas in 1737, and an Atlas Maior with about 300 maps in 1780. They also issued a special Atlas of Germany with full sized plans of principal cities, school atlases and an Atlas of Silesia in 1750 with 20 maps.
Condition: Good, given age. Light staining and soiling in the margins. Original middle fold as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully.
