Title: Hand-Colored 17th-Century Map of Orléanais by Frederik De Wit c. 1688
Description: This beautifully crafted map, "Gouvernement General du Pays Orléanois," illustrates the Orléanais region of France as it was in the late 17th century. Created by Frederik De Wit and published circa 1688, this map is a testament to the golden age of Dutch cartography. It features intricate engraving and vibrant original hand-coloring, detailing towns, rivers, forests, and regional boundaries. The map also includes an impressive cartouche adorned with coats of arms and allegorical figures, showcasing the cultural and political importance of the Orléanais region.
De Wit’s maps were often included in his renowned composite atlases, combining beauty and accuracy to cater to a scholarly and aristocratic audience. His skillful representation of geography and artistic flourishes makes this map not only a historical artifact but also a work of art. The Orléanais, with its historical significance and connection to French royalty, is vividly brought to life through De Wit’s craftsmanship.
Frederik De Wit remains one of the most celebrated cartographers of his time, with his works highly sought after by collectors. This map is an exceptional example of his ability to merge geographic precision with artistic detail.
Condition Report: The map is in fair to good condition, with vibrant original hand-coloring. There are minor age-related imperfections such as light foxing and faint toning. The oxidation of the green color has weakened the paper at some places and archival tape is placed at verso to reinforce the paper. Please review the image for additional details or ask for more images.
Framing and Matting Tips: Enhance the map’s appeal with a classic gold or dark wood frame that complements its original hand-coloring and decorative cartouche. Use acid-free matting in a neutral tone to protect the paper and highlight its intricate details. For preservation, UV-protective glass is recommended to maintain the colors’ vibrancy. This map is a perfect addition to a study, gallery, or office, offering both historical depth and artistic charm.
