About the Item

Antique map titled 'Nassovia Principatus (..)'. Detailed map of the Nassau region in western Germany between Koblenz, Hadamar, Giessen, Frankfurt and Mainz. The map is filled with information of roads, fortification, forests, castles, hot springs, salt mines, and blacksmiths. The pictorial cartouche has cherubs holding six coats of arms, and a table of explanations decorates the opposite corner. Published by N. Visscher, circa 1720. IN MORE DETAIL: This is an intricate and historically significant map, titled 'Nassovia Principatus,' which translates to 'Principality of Nassau.' It offers a detailed view of the Nassau region in western Germany, an area known for its rich history and economic activities during the period around 1720. The map would be of considerable interest to collectors and enthusiasts of cartography, especially those focused on German history or the cartographic work of the early 18th century. The detailed representation of the region includes cities such as Koblenz, Hadamar, Giessen, Frankfurt, and Mainz, which are key historical and economic centers, even today. Prospective buyers would be drawn to the meticulous depiction of roads, fortresses, expansive forests, and the precise locations of castles, signifying the region's strategic and defensive importance. The inclusion of natural resources such as hot springs, salt mines, and blacksmith sites not only offers insights into the economic activities of the time but also hints at the region's wealth and self-sufficiency. The artistic elements of the map, such as the pictorial cartouche adorned with cherubs and the six coats of arms, reflect the status and power of the region, adding a noble allure to the map's visual appeal. The opposite corner's table of explanations suggests a high level of detail and care taken in the map's creation. Published by Nicolaes Visscher, a renowned name in the world of cartography, this map would be a prized possession for its historical cartographic value and as a representation of the Visscher family's craftsmanship in map-making. Such a map would resonate well with institutions specializing in historical studies, private collectors with a penchant for European history, and antique enthusiasts seeking to own a piece of the intricate tapestry of German regional development during the early modern period.
