Antique Map of the Provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel by Kaerius, 1617

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Geldria et Transysulana'. Scarse map by Kaerius of the provinces Gelderland and Overijssel in the Netherlands. Large cartouche with coat of arms and sailing ship on the Zuyderzee. This map originates from the most beautiful Atlas of the Low Countries: 'Petri Kaerii Germania Inferior id est, XVII provinciarum ejus novae et exactae Tabulae Geographicae, cum Luculentis Singularum descriptionibus additis.' Published in Amsterdam by Petrus Kaerius in 1617. Artists and Engravers: Kaerius or actually Pieter van den Keere (1571-1646), is a Dutch engraver and publisher. Persecuted in his country because of his religious orientation he moved to London. As brother-in-law to famous Jodocus Hondius (who had also fled to London) he became his ardent student learning from him the art of engraving and mapmaking. Kaerius published individual maps, but also atlases of the Netherlands and of Great Britain. In 1627 his Atlas Minor was published (known also as miniature Speeds because of the verso text copied from John Speed), containing altogether 63 maps of the entire world. Condition: Good, general age-related toning; some light staining from handling. Original sheet from atlas, not shortened or cut. Map will look nice when framed, but at closer look you will find that the middle fold area has been separated with some paper loss, which has been backed by paper. Could be restored again. Paper edges with small tears and some paper loss, backed. Please study image carefully. Date: 1617 Overall size: 52.5 x 40 cm. Image size: 49 x 37.5 cm.
