Beautiful Bird's-Eye View Plan of Enkhuizen in The Netherlands by Blaeu, 1649

About the Item

Antique print, titled: 'Topograhpiae Enchusae.' Bird's-eye view plan of Enkhuizen in The Netherlands, with key to locations and coats of arms. Text in Dutch on verso. This plan originates from the famous city Atlas: 'Toneel der Steeden' published by Joan Blaeu 1649. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Joan Blaeu' after 'Cornelis Biens'. Joan Blaeu (23 September 1596 - 28 May 1673) was a Dutch cartographer. He was born in Alkmaar, the son of cartographer Willem Blaeu. In 1620 he became a doctor of law but he joined the work of his father. In 1635 they published the Atlas Novus (full title: Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus) in two volumes. Joan and his brother Cornelius took over the studio after their father died in 1638. Joan became the official cartographer of the Dutch East India Company. Around 1649 Joan Blaeu published a collection of Dutch city maps named Tooneel der Steeden (Views of Cities). In 1651 he was voted into the Amsterdam council. In 1654 Joan published the first atlas of Scotland, devised by Timothy Pont. In 1662 he reissued the atlas with 11 volumes, and one for oceans. It was also known as Atlas Maior. A cosmology was planned as their next project, but a fire destroyed the studio completely in 1672. Joan Blaeu died in Amsterdam the following year. Condition: Good, given age. A few small spots. Edges with a few very small tears, not affecting image. Light vertical crease right of middle fold. Middle fold as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.

“The Restaurant of the House of Representatives” Engraving by Harper's Weekly

Located in Colorado Springs, CO

This original wood engraving is titled “The Restaurant of the House of Representatives, Washington, DC.” It was published as a double-page image, in the August 12, 1893 issue of the famous 19th century newspaper Harper’s Weekly. The print was illustrated by Charles Stanley Reinhardt. The House Restaurant, a unique part of life in the Capitol, has been in the same location since the 1857 Capitol Expansion. Congressional members’ busy work schedule made the availability of food on site a necessity. But the restaurant also served as an informal meeting spot for members to continue conversations and deal making. This 1893 print illustrates the convivial atmosphere. Details including elegantly dressed tables...
