Large Antique Wall Map of Friesland by Vegelin van Claerbergen, 1739

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Nieuwe Caert van Frieslant, Vermeerdert en verbetert op order der Ed. Mo. Heeren Gedeputeerde Staeten'. Rare and large attractive wall map of Friesland, the so-called 'Vegelin-map'. It shows the region of Oostergo, Westergo and Zevenwolden in Friesland, the Netherlands. Decorated with coats of arms of Friesland, Oostergo, Zevenwolden and other regions and cities/villages of Friesland. Artists and Engravers: For this particular map, Bernhardus Schotanus à Sterringa prepared the plates. However, these plates were never published in his 'Schotanus Atlas'. He wanted the plates to be published as a large wall map but the provincial council was not prepared to pay the extra costs. After Schotanus his death, Francois Halma received his plates and in 1712 Halma was asked to reissue the Schotanus atlas. This 'Halma Atlas' was published in 1718 but for unknown reasons, again, the plates of this map were not included. In 1730, Tobias van Dessel, received the plates of Halma. In 1734, Johan Vegelin van Claerbergen asked the provincial council to publish the wall map. After all these years, the wall map was published and created by Tobias van Dessel, Reinier Ottens and Joshua Ottens in 1739.
