About the Item
Title: Map of Friesland (La Frise), from "Atlas Nouveau Portatif" (1756)
This is an 18th-century map of Friesland (Frise), a northern province of the Netherlands, engraved by *Georges-Louis Le Rouge*, a French cartographer, architect, and royal geographical engineer for King Louis XV.
It was published in 1756 as part of his "Atlas Nouveau Portatif à l'Usage des Militaires, Collèges et du Voyageur, Tome 1."
The map is hand-colored and features the coastal areas around Friesland, the Zuiderzee (Zuyder Zee), and adjacent regions like Groningen. It highlights geographic features such as waterways, towns, and borders of the province. The decorative cartouche in the lower-left corner includes pastoral scenes with figures and sheep, adding an artistic flourish typical of maps from this era.
Technique: Copperplate engraving with original period hand-coloring (acquaforte su rame, coloritura d'epoca)
Condition: Very good, with a visible editorial fold.
