Historical Map of the Lower Bishopric of Münster (1726-1750) by Sanson & Ottens – Hand-Colored Copperplate Engraving
The map titled "BASSE PARTIE DE L'EVESCHE DE MUNSTER" is a detailed historical depiction of the lower portion of the Bishopric of Münster, a region historically significant in present-day Germany. It is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Nicolas Sanson and later revised and augmented by Reinier and Joshua Ottens of Amsterdam between 1726 and 1750.
This map is particularly interesting due to its detailed representation of territorial divisions, cities, rivers, and other geographical features. The use of hand coloring enhances the clarity of boundaries and regions, emphasizing the political and administrative landscape of the time. The map reflects a collaboration between notable cartographers from France (Sanson) and the Netherlands (Ottens), showcasing the blending of French cartographic precision with Dutch expertise in map production during the 18th century. The map was likely intended for use by scholars, politicians, or merchants, providing insights into the geopolitical environment of the Bishopric of Münster during this period.

1. Münster – the central city of the bishopric, renowned for its ecclesiastical and historical significance in Westphalia.
2. Groningen – a major historical city in the north, known for its cultural and economic importance.
3. Dortmund – an important city in the region, often sought for its historical trade connections.
