Utrecht Province Map 1907 – Antique Dutch Topographic Kuyper Lithograph
This antique map of the province of Utrecht, titled “Utrecht. Uitgegeven en getekend door J. Kuyper”, was published in 1907 by W\.E.J. Tjeenk Willink in Zwolle. It is a highly detailed lithographed map of one of the Netherlands’ central provinces, known for its rich history, medieval cities, and varied landscapes.
The map shows the entire province of Utrecht in remarkable detail, with boundaries, waterways, railroads, and settlements clearly marked. Cities such as Utrecht, Amersfoort, and Zeist are shown with surrounding towns, villages, and rural areas, making the map a valuable geographic record from the early 20th century. The province’s dense network of canals, dikes, and rivers is finely engraved, emphasizing Utrecht’s role within the Dutch system of water management.
Shaded areas highlight woodlands, heathlands, and other natural features, with the Utrechtse Heuvelrug (Utrecht Hill Ridge) prominently marked. Railroads and tram lines are also carefully delineated, reflecting the increasing modernization of Dutch transport infrastructure at the beginning of the 20th century. The Zuiderzee (now the IJsselmeer) is shown along the northern border, predating the Afsluitdijk (1932) and subsequent land reclamation that reshaped the Netherlands in the 20th century.
Kuyper’s maps, published by W\.E.J. Tjeenk Willink, were known for their clarity and accuracy, widely used in schools and administration. Today, they provide a historical window into Dutch geography before major 20th-century transformations, such as the Zuiderzee Works and post-war urban expansion.
Condition: Good, with light age toning and fold lines as issued. Some small marginal tears and handling creases, but image remains clean and paper stable.
Framing tips: A simple black or dark oak frame with a cream mat will emphasize the fine cartographic detail. A secondary green mat could highlight the provincial borders and natural areas.
Technique: Lithograph with printed color
Maker: J. Kuyper, published by W\.E.J. Tjeenk Willink, Zwolle, 1907

Belgium and the Netherlands: A Hand-colored 17th Century Map by Visscher
By Nicolaus Visscher
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an original hand-colored 17th century map of Belgium by Nicolaus (Nicolas) Visscher II entitled "Belgium Foederatum emendate auctum et novissime editum", published in Amsterdam in 1678. The map shows the seven provinces comprising the Belgium federation or the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands or the Dutch Republic as it was also known. The republic was formed when an alliance of seven Dutch provinces in the Spanish Netherlands revolted against rule by Spain in 1579 (the Union of Utrecht) and declared their independence in 1581 (the Act of Abjuration). The seven provinces were Groningen, Frisia, Overijssel, Guelders, Utrecht, Holland and Zeeland. This was a predecessor state to the Netherlands and the first fully independent Dutch nation state. Amsterdam, Delft, Rouen, Utrecht, Brugge, Ghent, and Antwerp are all included on the map. A small inset map in the lower right depicts the course of the Maas River from Maastricht to Wessem. There is a decorative cartouche in the upper left corner and a distance scale cartouche in the lower right corner.
The map is presented in an attractive antiqued medium brown-colored wood frame with gold-colored inner and outer trim and a light tan-colored fabric mat. The frame measures 26.63" high by 30" wide by 0.75" deep. There is some darkening of the red areas in the map, presumably related to oxidation of the original iron containing pigment over time. There are also a few scattered spots. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
The Visscher family were one of the great cartographic families of the 17th century. Begun by Claes Jansz Visscher...
