About the Item

Antique print, titled: 'Groningae et Omlandiae Dominium vulgo de Provincie van Stadt en Lande (…) ' - This map shows Groningen, the Netherlands. Lower left scale sticks in the decorative cartouche. Originally published after 1681 by Nicolaes Visscher. This ed. re-published by Petrus Schenk Jr. c. 1730. Artists and Engravers: A. Hoogenboom after D. Ludolpho Tjardae a Starkenburg. Publisher: Petrus Schenk Jr. The Visscher family were art and map dealers in Amsterdam during the 17th century. Funded by C. J. Visscher (1587-1652), the business was continued by his son and grandson both named Nicolas. Nicolas Visscher I was born 1618 in Wenns, Austria. He died 1679 in Linz. After the death of Nicolas II, his widow passed the business to Pieter Schenk. Pieter Schenk / Petrus Schenck ( 1660-1718/19) was born in Germany, but settled in Amsterdam where he first became a pupil of Gerard Valck, the engraver. In 1687 he married Valck's sister and thereafter the Schenk and Valck families were active over a long period with a wide range of interests as print sellers, publishers of books, maps, topographical and architectural drawings and globes. Although they produced some original maps, most of their atlases consisted of printings from revised and re-worked plates originally by Jansson, the Visschers, the Sansons and others. Peter Schenk the Younger (1693-1775) was a Dutch engraver and map publisher active in Amsterdam and Leipzig. Condition: Good, given age. Original middle fold, as issued.
