About the Item
Antique map titled 'Plan de la ville de Hang-Tcheou-Fou ou Hang-Chew-Fu Capitale de la Province de Che-Kiang’.

Artists and Engravers: Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703 - 1772) was one of the most important cartographers of the 18th century. With a career spanning some 50 years, Bellin is best understood as geographe de cabinet and transitional mapmaker spanning the gap between 18th and early 19th century cartographic styles. His long career as Hydrographer and Ingénieur Hydrographe at the French Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine resulted in hundreds of high quality nautical charts of practically everywhere in the world. A true child of the Enlightenment Era, Bellin's work focuses on function and accuracy tending in the process to be less decorative than the earlier 17th and 18th century cartographic work. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Bellin was always careful to cite his references and his scholarly corpus consists of over 1400 articles on geography prepared for Diderot's Encyclopedie. Bellin, despite his extraordinary success, may not have enjoyed his work, which is described as "long, unpleasant, and hard." In addition to numerous maps and charts published during his lifetime, many of Bellin's maps were updated (or not) and published posthumously. He was succeeded as Ingénieur Hydrographe by his student, also a prolific and influential cartographer, Rigobert Bonne.

- Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain's Capital ProvinceLocated in Langweer, NLThe 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...Category

- Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'Located in Philadelphia, PAA 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.
