About the Item

Antique map titled 'Comitatus Marchia et Ravensberg'. This map depicts two historical counties of the Holy Roman Empire: Marks and Ravensberg. Major cities, towns, mountains, and rivers are identified. An inset at the bottom left shows Ravensberg and its surrounding regions. The map is adorned with an elaborate title cartouche featuring the coats of arms of the two counties and a scale of miles cartouche flanked by a regional figure. Published by J. Blaeu, circa 1660. Joan was a Dutch cartographer born in Alkmaar, the son of cartographer Willem Blaeu. In 1638 he was appointed his father’s successor in the Hydrographic office of the V.O.C. His efforts culminated in the magnificent Atlas Major and the town-books of the Netherlands and of Italy – works unsurpassed in history and in modern times, which gave eternal fame to the name of the Blaeus.
