About the Item
Map of Piedmont, Savoy and Liguria by Justus Danckerts, Amsterdam c.1690
This richly detailed and decorative map, titled *Tabula Generalis Ducatus Sabaudiae Principatus Pedemontii Comitatum Nicaeensis et Ducatus Montisferrati*, was published around 1690 by the Amsterdam cartographer Justus Danckerts (Iustinus Danckerus). He was one of the leading mapmakers in the Netherlands during the late 17th century, part of a family renowned for producing finely engraved and colored maps.
The map covers a large swath of Northern Italy and parts of southeastern France, focusing on the Duchy of Savoy, the Principality of Piedmont, the County of Nice, and the Ligurian coast, including Genoa. It reflects the strategic and political importance of these territories, especially during a time of shifting alliances and ongoing wars among European powers.
Danckerts’s map stands out for its clarity and precision, showing a dense network of cities, rivers, mountain ranges, and territorial boundaries. The Alps are rendered in expressive hachuring, and each region is outlined in hand-applied color. Prominent cities such as Turin, Nice, and Genoa are labeled, as well as key geographic features like Lake Geneva, the Po River, and the Mediterranean coast.
A beautifully ornate cartouche at the lower right features allegorical figures, coats of arms, and a dedication, highlighting the grandeur and authority of the map. The artistry and execution are typical of Dutch Golden Age cartography—both practical and decorative.
This map would have served as an important reference for military strategists, diplomats, and merchants operating in this politically significant region at the crossroads of France and Italy.
Condition summary:
Very good condition with original hand-color, central fold as issued, mild age toning. Strong impression but tight margins and some borders reinforced. A fine example of late 17th-century Dutch cartography.
Framing tips:
Best displayed in a dark wood or gold-leaf frame with a cream or soft beige mat to bring out the color contrast. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the hand-coloring and paper integrity over time.
