Map of the Duchy of Luxembourg by De Wit, Amsterdam circa 1680
Rare original antique map of the Duchy of Luxembourg by Frederick de Wit, published in Amsterdam circa 1680. A highly decorative 17th-century collectible.
This rare and beautifully engraved map titled Ducatus Lutzenburgici Tabula Nuperrime in Lucem Edita was published around 1680 by the renowned Amsterdam cartographer Frederick de Wit. It offers a detailed representation of the Duchy of Luxembourg and its surrounding regions, capturing the complex political geography of late 17th-century Europe.
The map is rich in detail, featuring mountains, forests, rivers, and a dense network of towns and villages. Key cities such as Luxembourg, Bastogne, Arlon, and Neufchâteau are marked with red symbols, while delicate hachuring illustrates the region’s varied topography. Hand-colored borders distinguish the different provinces, reflecting territorial divisions under the Holy Roman Empire.
The decorative elements are particularly charming. The upper right features two cherubs holding surveying instruments, symbolizing cartographic science, while the lower right corner shows a female figure representing Luxembourg beside the province’s red lion coat of arms. These vignettes are both decorative and emblematic, enhancing the artistic and historic appeal of the map.
Frederick de Wit (circa 1629–1706) was one of the foremost Dutch map publishers of the Golden Age. His *Atlas sive Descriptio Terrarum Orbis* was a major cartographic work of the late 17th century, and his maps are celebrated for their precision, beauty, and decorative qualities. This map of the Duchy of Luxembourg is a fine example of his craftsmanship and remains a scarce find, particularly in such well-preserved condition.
