Antique Map of Northern Germany and the Netherlands – circa 1806
About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Northern Germany and the Netherlands – circa 1806
Description: This finely engraved antique map, titled L'Allemagne 1re Feuille, depicts the northern regions of Germany, the Netherlands, and part of England. The map is from an 18th-century or early 19th-century French atlas and showcases detailed geographical information, including cities, rivers, and political boundaries of the period. The coastlines of the North Sea (Mer d'Allemagne) are well-defined, with major port cities such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Bremen clearly marked. England's eastern coastline, including London, Yarmouth, and Ipswich, is also featured.
The map includes a scale conversion chart in the upper left corner, allowing for measurements in various units, including German miles, French leagues, and marine leagues. The hand-colored borders distinguish different political entities, reflecting the fragmented nature of the Holy Roman Empire at the time.

By Jacobus Harrewijn
Located in Langweer, NL
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.
