Antique Bird Print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller
Located in Langweer, NL
Original antique bird print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller, Guira Guainumbi. Published by by George Edwards, circa 1760.
George Edwards FRS (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology". Edwards began studying natural history, especially birds, after an unsuccessful career as a businessman, ‘applying himself to drawing and colouring such animals as fell under his notice’, including foreign specimens brought into the Port of London by ship. Edwards’ chief aim was to ‘achieve a natural and accurate portrayal’, though often from stuffed specimens; with no clear idea of suitable backgrounds he would perch smaller birds on a lichen...

Map of Beijing (Peking) with Tartar and Chinese Divisions and Jesuit Missions
Located in Langweer, NL
An antique map by Jacques Nicolas Bellin titled "Plan de la Ville de Peking Capitale de l'Empire de la Chine," published in Paris in 1754.
This finely engraved plan shows the detailed layout of the city of Peking (now known as Beijing), the capital of China. The map distinctly divides the city into the "Ville Tartare" (Tartar City) and "Ville Chinoise" (Chinese City), indicating the segregated living areas during that period. Notable features on the map include the Emperor's Palace and the French Jesuit and Portuguese Jesuit missions located in the Tartar City, as well as the Temples of the Earth and Sky marked in the Chinese City.
This kind of map is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the urban planning and social geography of Beijing in the mid-18th century. It reflects the European interest in the far reaches of the world during the age of exploration...
