Title: Gascogne and Guyenne Map - Hand-Colored 17th-Century Engraving by Frederik De Wit c. 1688
Description: This remarkable map, "Gouvernement de la Guyenne & Gascogne," captures the historic regions of Gascogne and Guyenne in southwestern France. Created by the master cartographer Frederik De Wit and published circa 1688, this map is an exquisite representation of the golden age of Dutch cartography. It features intricate engraving and vibrant original hand-coloring, illustrating towns, rivers, forests, and the regional terrain with precision and artistry.
The map is adorned with two ornate cartouches. The upper-left corner showcases a collection of coats of arms framed by cherubs, while the lower-right cartouche is richly decorated with allegorical figures and decorative motifs. These embellishments highlight the cultural and political significance of Gascogne and Guyenne during the 17th century.
Frederik De Wit was a prominent figure in the golden age of cartography, renowned for his ability to combine geographical accuracy with artistic elegance. This map, part of his renowned composite atlases, is a testament to his craftsmanship and the era's demand for both functional and visually stunning maps.
Condition Report: The map is in very good condition, with bright and vibrant original hand-coloring. Minor age-related imperfections such as light foxing and faint toning may be present. Please examine the image for further details.
Framing and Matting Tips: This map’s decorative cartouches and vibrant hand-coloring make it ideal for a classic gold-leaf or dark wood frame. Acid-free matting in a neutral tone will enhance its colors and protect the paper. For preservation, UV-protective glass is recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the original colors. This piece is a perfect addition to a gallery wall, study, or library, combining historical depth with artistic sophistication.
