Willem Blaeu – Dutch Cartographer and Publisher, 19th-Century Lithograph

About the Item

Willem Blaeu – Dutch Cartographer and Publisher, 19th-Century Lithograph Item Description: This refined 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts Willem Blaeu, one of the most important Dutch cartographers and publishers of the seventeenth century. Born in 1571, Blaeu was a student of the famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and became renowned for his beautifully engraved maps, atlases, and globes. He founded the Blaeu publishing house in Amsterdam, which later produced the monumental Atlas Maior, one of the most magnificent map collections ever printed. The lithograph shows Blaeu seated in a scholarly pose with a book in hand, surrounded by oversized volumes and rolled charts—symbolic of his contributions to geography and knowledge. His attire and expression convey the dignity and intellect of a man deeply involved in science, exploration, and publishing during the Dutch Golden Age. Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph blends accurate historical portraiture with decorative appeal. The hand-applied color and subtle shading bring the subject to life while preserving a sense of period character.

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph

Located in Langweer, NL

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jacob Cats, one of the most beloved poets and moralists of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1577, Cats served as a jurist, politician, and Grand Pensionary of Holland, but he is best remembered for his richly illustrated emblem books and rhymed moral teachings that were household staples in the Netherlands for centuries. His work influenced generations of Dutch families and writers alike. Cats is depicted seated at his writing desk, pen in hand, with books and manuscripts surrounding him. His composed yet thoughtful expression, modest attire, and scholarly setting all reflect the dual life he led as both a literary figure and a statesman. The background features shelves of books, a richly patterned tablecloth, and finely detailed textures that emphasize his intellectual world. This lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. It demonstrates the refined character and quiet dignity often associated with Cats' legacy, rendered with subtle, hand-applied color and careful linework. Details: - Subject: Jacob Cats, Dutch poet, jurist, and statesman - Date: Circa 1850 - Technique: Hand-colored lithograph - Artist: W F Hoevenaar - Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht - Sheet size: [Insert measurements here] - Condition: Good; well-preserved with clear detail and minimal signs of aging - Printed title below image: Jacob Cats Framing Suggestion: Best presented in a classic wooden frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass. A soft ivory or parchment-colored mat will highlight the literary tone of the piece. Shipping: Professionally packed and shipped worldwide from our gallery in the Netherlands.

Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater – Dutch Engineer & Millwright, 19th-Century Lithograph

Located in Langweer, NL

Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater – Dutch Engineer and Millwright, 19th-Century Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater, one of the most important hydraulic engineers of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1575 in De Rijp, Leeghwater was a millwright, clockmaker, and visionary engineer who played a major role in the land reclamation projects that helped shape the modern Netherlands. He was instrumental in the draining of the Beemster, Schermer, and Purmer lakes using wind-powered technologies. The print depicts Leeghwater seated on a haystack in a rural landscape, with a windmill in the background and laborers at work behind him. He holds a compass and notebook, emphasizing his technical knowledge and engineering skills. His direct gaze and thoughtful expression convey his role as both planner and hands-on innovator. The scene combines historical realism with national pride in Dutch ingenuity. Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph features fine line work, warm hand-applied color, and a rich sense of atmosphere. It is a compelling tribute to Dutch water management heritage. Details: Subject: Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater, Dutch hydraulic engineer and inventor Date: Circa 1850 Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Artist: Herman ten Kate Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht Condition: Good; fine color and detail, minimal signs of age Printed title below image: Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater Framing Suggestion: This piece works beautifully in a natural wood or dark oak frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass.
