Rare Hand-Colored Map of Lyonnais Region in France by Frederik De Wit c. 1688

About the Item

Title: Rare Hand-Colored Map of Lyonnais Region by Frederik De Wit c. 1688 Description: This beautifully detailed map, "Gouvernement General du Lyonnois," showcases the Lyonnais region in France as it appeared in the late 17th century. Published by Frederik De Wit around 1688, the map features original hand-coloring and intricate engravings that highlight towns, rivers, forests, and the region's topography. Its artistry is further enhanced by a richly adorned cartouche at the top right, complete with coats of arms, flags, and decorative elements that reflect the region’s historic significance. The map is part of De Wit’s renowned collection, often assembled into composite atlases that included maps from leading Dutch cartographers like Hondius and Blaeu. These atlases were prized by scholars and collectors for their blend of geographic precision and aesthetic appeal. This map exemplifies De Wit’s exceptional craftsmanship, with his careful attention to detail and use of vivid colors bringing the landscape of Lyonnais to life. Frederik De Wit, a key figure in the golden age of Dutch cartography, was celebrated for his town plans and atlases, which were widely admired for their elegance and clarity. His works are now highly sought after by collectors for their artistic and historical value. Condition Report: The map is in very good condition, with minor age-related imperfections such as faint toning and light foxing. Original hand-coloring remains vibrant. Please refer to the image for additional details. Framing and Matting Tips: To highlight the map’s historic and artistic features, choose a classic wood or gilded frame paired with acid-free, cream-toned matting. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the original hand-coloring. This piece is ideal for a gallery wall or study, where its detailed engraving and decorative cartouches can be appreciated up close.
