Authentic 1644 Janssonius Map of the Champagne Region (Campania) in France
Located in Langweer, NL
"1644 Janssonius Map of Champagne, France"
This meticulously detailed original antique map, engraved in 1644, is a work by the esteemed cartographer Johannes Janssonius. It depicts the historic province of Champagne, situated in the northeastern part of France. The map is notable for its high level of detail, with meticulously drawn boundaries, city markers, and river courses. It features a beautifully rendered cartouche adorned with the provincial coat of arms, flanked by classical figures, indicative of the region's cultural significance. In the lower left corner, a pair of cherubs are engaged in surveying, symbolizing the scientific endeavor of cartography. The elaborate compass rose and the scale bar further complement the map's utility and artistic merit.
Champagne is renowned globally for its viticultural heritage, being the birthplace of the eponymous Champagne sparkling wine. The region's unique terroir, with its chalky soil and cool climate, is ideal for the production of the grapes used in champagne-making. The historical significance of Champagne extends beyond winemaking; it has been the site of pivotal battles and royal coronations, which shaped the course of French and European history. This map is not only a navigational tool but also a snapshot of a region rich in history and tradition, an artifact that embodies the geographical and cultural prestige of Champagne.
This description provides a detailed visual and contextual presentation of the map, suitable for a catalog entry, emphasizing both its artistic features and the historical and cultural importance of the Champagne region.
THE WINE AREAS:
The Champagne region, known primarily for its production of the sparkling wine that bears its name, encompasses several important cities and sites of historical and cultural significance:
1. **Reims**: Often considered the unofficial capital of the Champagne region, Reims is renowned for its grand cathedral, Notre-Dame de Reims, where French kings were historically crowned...

The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective, 1792
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective"
This elegant original antique engraving, titled "The Valley of Inspruck," showcases a serene view of the Innsbruck Valley. The artwork is delicately rendered, capturing the grandeur of the mountains and the pastoral tranquility of the valley.
The print depicts a detailed landscape scene, replete with towering craggy peaks that loom over a peaceful settlement nestled in the valley. A striking feature is the contrast between the ruggedness of the natural environment and the cultivated lands and architecture, indicating a harmonious coexistence of humanity with nature.
It was published as directed on January 1, 1792, by T & G Egerton of Whitehall for the author. Albanis Beaumont is credited with the original design ('Del.' for delineavit, indicating he drew the initial illustration), and Cornelis Apostool is noted for the engraving work ('Sculp.' for sculpsit, indicating he engraved the image).
The publication of this print during the late 18th century aligns with a time when there was a heightened interest in natural beauty and the picturesque, reflected in the art and literature of the Romantic period. This print would have appealed to those with an appreciation for both the aesthetic and the sublime qualities of the European landscape.
The publication by T & G Egerton, a reputable firm known for their work in the arts, and the involvement of a skilled artist and engraver like Beaumont and Apostool, respectively, underline the quality and desirability of the print. It is a piece that would attract collectors of fine engravings and admirers of European landscapes, offering a window into the aesthetic values and artistic endeavors of the late 18th century.
As a historical piece, this print offers a view into the past, inviting contemplation of the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Innsbruck area. It is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of antique maps and prints...
