About the Item
This exceptional antique map, titled "Nouvelle Carte Marine de Toute les Cotes de l´Amerique" and alternatively known as "Nieuwe groote en seer Curieuse Paskaart van Geheel-WestIndien," is a splendid piece of cartographic history. Created by the renowned mapmaker Jan Sikkena and published by Gerard Van Keulen, the son of the famous Johannes Van Keulen, around 1728, this map is a testament to the art and science of early 18th-century mapmaking.
The map showcases a meticulous and comprehensive depiction of Florida, the Gulf Coast, the Caribbean, and Central America. What sets it apart is its beautiful original, or contemporary, hand coloring, which adds a vivid and authentic touch to this historical artifact. The colors used are rich and vibrant, highlighting the detailed cartography and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the map.
As a collector's item, this map stands out for its remarkable precision and attention to detail. The craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the map, from the intricate coastlines and detailed geographical features to the delicate labeling of regions and landmarks. The map not only serves as a navigational tool but also as a work of art, reflecting the skill and dedication of its creator, Jan Sikkena.
The publication of this map by Gerard Van Keulen, continuing the legacy of his father Johannes, adds to its historical significance. The Van Keulen family was renowned for their contribution to maritime cartography, and this map is a fine example of their expertise and influence in the field.
Overall, this map is not just a navigational aid but a piece of history, encapsulating the knowledge, artistry, and skill of early 18th-century mapmaking. Its exceptional detail, beautiful hand coloring, and historical significance make it a prized possession for any collector or enthusiast of antique maps.
