An Original Engraved Plan of the City & Castle of Batavia, The East Indies, 1740
About the Item
Herman Moll's antique map, "A Plan of the City and Castle of Batavia," crafted in 1740, offers a meticulous portrayal of the bustling city and its fortified castle. Known for his precision and cartographic expertise, Moll presents an intricate view of Batavia, a significant colonial hub in the Dutch East Indies, now Jakarta, Indonesia.
The map was published with Thomas Salmon`s "Modern History: or the Present State of All Nations, published London circa 1740.
This detailed map depicts the city's layout, encompassing its streets, landmarks, harbor, and the formidable fortress of Batavia Castle. Moll's artistry extends to the surrounding topography, highlighting coastal features and neighboring areas. The map provides insight into the city's strategic layout and the interplay between urban architecture and natural elements.
Embellished with fine details and labeled key points, Moll's cartographic masterpiece offers a historical glimpse into Batavia's prominent structures and surroundings during the 18th century. It served as a navigational aid and a reference for traders, navigators, and colonial administrators of that era, encapsulating the city's significance within the context of global trade and colonial expansion. Moll's map endures as both a cartographic gem and a historical artifact, preserving the essence of Batavia's urban landscape from the early 18th century.
Herman Moll, a renowned 18th-century cartographer and engraver, hailed from Germany. Settling in England, he became celebrated for his detailed maps, atlases, and globes. Moll's expertise in cartography extended to depicting regions worldwide, emphasizing accuracy and embellishing his works with artistic flair and geographic precision.
