About the Item

Title: 1632 Decorative Map of the Holy Land with Insets of Jerusalem and Biblical Artefacts Description: This richly detailed map of the Holy Land, published in 1632, offers a fascinating view of the biblical regions of Israel and surrounding areas. The map, titled "Chorographia Terrae Sanctae," provides a meticulous layout of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, desert areas, and key biblical landmarks. It is embellished with stunning hand-colored illustrations and numerous insets, including a detailed plan of Jerusalem, depictions of Solomon’s Temple, the Tabernacle, and sacred religious artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant and the Menorah. Alongside its geographic representation, the map includes elaborate allegorical scenes and ships sailing in the Mediterranean, adding both a decorative and historical dimension. Its design reflects the cartographic artistry of the 17th century, blending precision with artistic flair. Produced during the Counter-Reformation, it was intended not only as a geographical reference but also as a visual tool for understanding the biblical narrative and the spiritual significance of the Holy Land. Engraved using copperplate techniques, the map showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with intricate detailing and vibrant original hand-coloring that brings the historical and biblical scenes to life. It is a rare and valuable artifact, appealing to collectors of historical maps, religious iconography, and 17th-century cartographic works. Condition: In good condition with vibrant hand-coloring. Top margins a bit brownish on the edge but not touching the image, leaving it perfectly well for framing. No significant tears or repairs but folds as issued and sheets professionally joined together. Matting and Framing Tips: Use acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to preserve its colors and paper. Pair with a wide, gold-accented frame to enhance its decorative and historical significance. Ensure proper spacing between the glass and the map to prevent damage. Display in a location away from direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain its pristine condition.

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...
