Beautiful Large Scale Map of Spain and Portugal Published by Herman Moll in 1711
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: A New and Exact Map of Spain & Portugal
Author: Herman Moll
Date: 1711
Medium: Hand-colored copperplate engraving
Herman Moll (c. 1654-1732) was one of the most important London mapmakers in the first half of the eighteenth century. Moll was probably born in Bremen, Germany, around 1654. He moved to London to escape the Scanian Wars. His earliest work was as an engraver for Moses Pitt on the production of the English Atlas, a failed work which landed Pitt in debtor's prison. Moll also engraved for Sir Jonas Moore, Grenville Collins, John Adair, and the Seller & Price firm. He published his first original maps in the early 1680s and had set up his own shop by the 1690s.
Moll's work quickly helped him become a member of a group which congregated at Jonathan's Coffee House at Number 20 Exchange Alley, Cornhill, where speculators met to trade stock. Moll's circle included the scientist Robert Hooke...

Senex Map of Castile, Leon & La Mancha in The Spanish Heartland, 1714
Located in Langweer, NL
This antique map, titled "A Map of Old & New Castile from the Observations of Rodrigo Mendes Silva and others," depicts the regions of Old Castile and New Castile in Spain, along with the Kingdom of Leon, Estremadura, La Mancha, among others. The map dates back to the early 18th century, a period marked by significant political shifts and territorial changes in Europe, particularly illustrated by the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) that reshaped Spain’s governance and regional boundaries.
The map itself was published in 1714 by John Senex, a prominent English mapmaker, surveyor, globemaker, and geographer of the early eighteenth century. He was apprenticed as a young man to bookseller Robert Clavell and collaborated with notable mapmakers such as Jeremiah Seller and Charles Price. In 1728, Senex's contributions to geography and mapping were recognized when he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, an exceptional honor for a mapmaker, underlining his significant role as the Society's engraver and a publisher of maps by Edmund Halley and other notable figures.
John Senex is renowned for his English Atlas, first published in the same year as this map, 1714, and continued to be printed until the 1760s. Following his death in 1740, his widow Mary Senex managed the business until 1755. Afterward, the stock passed to William Herbert and Robert Sayer for maps, and to James Ferguson for globes.
The map serves not just as a geographical record but also as a historical document, reflecting the territorial divisions significant to Spain's political and economic structure at the time. The focus on Old and New Castile underscores their importance during a transformative era in Spanish history.
Here are some potentially significant places and features of this map:
1. **Old Castile (Castilla la Vieja)**: Historically significant as part of the former Kingdom of Castile, this region includes major cities such as Burgos and Valladolid. These cities could be popular search...

This map depicts the island with the typical misconceptions of the period with the enlarged island straddling the Equator and nearly divided by a ridge of mountains.

Rare Antique Map of Southwestern Europe and West Africa by V.M. Coronelli, 1692
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Globe Gore: Southwestern Europe and West Africa by Vincenzo Coronelli
This exquisite, hand-colored globe gore by Vincenzo Coronelli, one of the most renowned 17th-century cartographers, represents Southwestern Europe and West Africa. A segment of Coronelli's monumental 42-inch terrestrial globe, this gore is a remarkable example of the artistry and geographical knowledge of the late 1600s. Covering France, the Iberian Peninsula, and all of Africa west of a line extending from Algeria to the Bight of Benin, it also includes the Canary Islands and Madeira.
Coronelli’s globe gores are celebrated for their exceptional engraving and accuracy, and this piece is no exception. The coastline of Africa is depicted with remarkable precision for its time, reflecting the latest geographical knowledge of European explorers. In contrast, the interior of Africa—still a mystery to European mapmakers—features mythical elements such as fantastical mountain ranges and exotic fauna. Giraffes, elephants, lions, and mysterious giant birds populate the landscape, offering a glimpse into the imagination and curiosity of the era. One notable detail is the Gambia...

Antique Town Plan of Emden ‘Germany’ by Braun & Hogenberg, 1597
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Embdena (..)'. Old, antique bird's-eye view plan of Emden, Germany. This bird's-eye view from the southwest over the Dollart shows Emden, which developed from a trading settlement in the 7th/8th centuries into a city as late as late 14th century. In 1494 it was granted staple rights, and in 1536 the harbour was extended. In the mid-16th century Emden's port was thought to have the most ships in Europe. Its population then was about 5,000, rising to 15,000 by the end of the 16th century. The Ems flowed directly under the city walls, but its course was changed in the 17th century by the construction of a canal. Emden has canals within its city limits, a typical feature of Dutch towns, which also enabled the extension of the harbour. Emden's first herring company was founded in 1553, and in 1595 Emden was created a Free Imperial City under the protection of Holland.

1750 Bellin Map of the Red River (Tonkin River) and Hanoi, Vietnam
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 1750 Bellin Map of the Red River and Hanoi, Vietnam
Description: This finely engraved eighteenth-century French map, titled Carte du Cours de la Riviere de Tunquin, was created by the renowned cartographer Jacques-Nicolas Bellin and published in 1750. It depicts the course of the Red River, historically referred to as the Tonkin River, from Hanoi, labeled as Cacho, Ville Capitale du Tunquin, to the Gulf of Tonkin, labeled as Baye de Tunquin. Bellin’s work was based on navigational surveys by an English explorer, as stated in the title, reflecting the growing European interest in Southeast Asia during the early colonial period.
The Red River Delta was a crucial region for trade and agriculture, forming the backbone of Vietnam’s economic and cultural history. The river originates in China and flows through northern Vietnam, passing through Hanoi before emptying into the Gulf of Tonkin. This map captures the strategic importance of the river, as it served as a major trade route for goods and a point of interest for European navigators, merchants, and missionaries seeking access to Indochina.
The map includes numerous geographical details. Hanoi is prominently labeled as the capital of Tonkin, a historical term used by Europeans to describe northern Vietnam. The surrounding settlements, islands, and tributaries are carefully marked, illustrating the intricate network of waterways that characterized the region. Notable features include Île de la Potterie, referring to a location known for ceramic production, and various sandbanks and fortified locations along the river.
A decorative compass rose is placed in the upper left corner, reinforcing the map’s navigational purpose. The scale of measurement is provided in French leagues, labeled as Grandes Lieues...
