Old Map of the Western Part of Central Europe, c.1680

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Carta nova accurate del Passagio et strada dalli Paesi Bassi'. Old map of the western portion of Central Europe. Oriented to the Northeast. Artists and Engravers: Frederick de Wit (1629 ca.-1706) was a mapmaker and mapseller who was born in Gouda but who worked and died in Amsterdam. He moved to the city in 1648, where he opened a printing operation under the name of The Three Crabs; later, he changed the name of his shop to The White Chart. From the 1660s onward, he published atlases with a variety of maps; he is best known for these atlases and his Dutch town maps. After Frederik’s death in 1706, his wife Maria ran the shop for four years before selling it. Their son, Franciscus, was a stockfish merchant and had no interest in the map shop. At the auction to liquidate the de Wit stock, most of the plates went to Pieter Mortier, whose firm eventually became Covens & Mortier, one of the biggest cartography houses of the eighteenth century. Condition: Fair, age-related toning. Few stains and tape along the edges. Blank verso, please study image carefully. Date: c.1680 Overall size: 62 x 53 cm. Image size: 55 x 47 cm.
