About the Item

Title: Rare Hand-Colored Map of Champagne and Brie by Frederik De Wit c. 1688 Description: This exquisite 17th-century map, "Champagne et Brie," beautifully depicts the regions of Champagne and Brie in France. Published by the renowned cartographer Frederik De Wit around 1688, the map features meticulous engraving and original hand-coloring, vividly illustrating towns, rivers, forests, and rolling hills. The elegant cartouche at the upper left corner is adorned with allegorical figures, adding a decorative and artistic element to this historically significant piece. De Wit’s maps are celebrated for their precision and visual appeal, blending scientific accuracy with artistic creativity. This map exemplifies the golden age of Dutch cartography, offering a window into the geography and cultural importance of Champagne and Brie in the late 17th century. As part of De Wit’s famous composite atlases, it reflects the craftsmanship and expertise of one of Amsterdam’s most prominent publishers. Frederik De Wit was a leading figure during the golden age of cartography, and his works are highly prized for their aesthetic and historical value. This map is not only a geographical document but also a work of art, making it a desirable addition to any collection. Condition Report: The map is in very good condition, with vibrant original hand-coloring. Minor age-related imperfections such as light foxing or toning present.

Acid-free matting in a neutral tone will protect the map and accentuate its delicate hand-coloring and cartouche details. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve its vibrancy and prevent fading. This map is perfect for display in a study, library, or gallery, offering a timeless and sophisticated touch.
