About the Item

Antique map titled 'Gallia Benedictina seu Abbatiar & Prioratus tam Monachorum quam Monialium Ord. S. Benedict (..)'. Beautiful antique map of France with the provinces of the Order of Saint Benedict. With decorative cartouche with an historical scene with the king of France, who is sitting under a baldachin. In front of him kneels a Benedictine friar, who is holding a book in his hand. Artists and Engravers: Homann Heirs was a German publishing firm that enjoyed a major place in the European map market throughout the eighteenth century. Founded in 1702 by Johann Baptist Homann, the business passed to his son, Christoph, upon Johann’s death in 1724. Christoph died in 1730, aged only 27, and the firm was inherited by subsequent Homann heirs. This altered the name of the company, which was known as Homann Erben, or Homann heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848. Condition: Good, general age-related toning. Stain on top, please study image carefully. Date: 1738 Overall size: 61 x 50 cm. Image size: 55 x 45 cm.
