Detailed Antique Map of Hungary and Transylvania by Tirion, 1753
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Nieuwe Kaart van’t Koninkryk Hongaryen en Zevenbergen by Isaak Tirion, 1753 – Antique Map of Hungary and Transylvania
Description: This is an antique 1753 map titled *Nieuwe Kaart van’t Koninkryk Hongaryen en Zevenbergen*, created by the notable Dutch cartographer and publisher Isaak Tirion. The map showcases the Kingdom of Hungary and the region of Transylvania (referred to as "Zevenbergen") as they appeared in the mid-18th century. Tirion’s maps are well-known for their clarity, precision, and attention to geographic detail, making them highly sought after by collectors of antique maps.
This map provides a detailed view of Hungary and Transylvania, including borders, towns, cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. It was created using the latest discoveries and updates of the time and reflects the political landscape of the region, which was part of the Habsburg Empire during a period of territorial changes and consolidations. The map’s borders are highlighted with color to distinguish different regions, and significant cities such as Buda, Pest, and Debrecen are clearly labeled.
Isaak Tirion was one of the most prominent Dutch publishers of the 18th century, particularly known for his *Nieuwe en Beknopte Hand-Atlas* (New and Concise Hand Atlas) series, which included a wide range of maps of Europe and beyond. His works were appreciated for their cartographic accuracy and artistic quality.
This map is a valuable piece for collectors interested in 18th-century European maps, particularly those that highlight Central Europe, Hungary, Transylvania, and the Habsburg Empire. It is a fine example of the craftsmanship of Isaak Tirion and offers insight into the historical geography of the region.
Condition: Excellent for its age, with finely preserved hand-coloring and wide margins. Slight edge wear typical of maps from this period.

La Terre Sainte, The Holy Land, Tiree Des Memoires De M.De.La Rue. Par N. de Fer. Geographe de Sa Majeste Catoliq et de Monseigneur le Dauphin. Avec Privil du Roi 1703
Detailed map of the Holy Land from Nicholas de Fer's L'Atlas Curieux ou le Monde. East is oriented at the top.
MAKER Nicolas de Fer 1646-1720
The French cartographer and engraver, Nicolas de Fer, was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.
Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father, Antoine de Fer, owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve, Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother, Genevieve, took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V...
