Professionally cleaned historical map beautifully and professionally mounted/restored on see-through acid-free paper. Willem Janszoon Blaeu also abbreviated to Willem Jansz. Blaeu was a Dutch cartographer atlas maker and publisher. Blaeu was born at Uitgeest or Alkmaar. As the son of a well-to-do herring salesman he was destined to succeed his father in the trade but his interests lay more in Mathematics and Astronomy. Between 1594 and 1596 as a student of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe he qualified as an instrument and globe maker. In 1600 he discovered the second ever variable star now known as P Cygni. Once he returned to Holland he made country maps and world globes and as he possessed his own printing works he was able to regularly produce country maps in an atlas format some of which appeared in the Atlas Novus published in 1635. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the East Indian Company. He was also an editor and published works of Willebrord Snell Descartes Adriaan Metius Roemer Visscher Gerhard Johann Vossius Barlaeus Hugo Grotius Vondel and the historian and poet Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft. He died in Amsterdam. He had two sons Johannes and Cornelis Blaeu who continued their father's mapmaking and publishing business after his death in 1638. Prints of the family's works are still sold today. Original maps are rare collector items. The Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer of Delft 1632-1675 holds a position of great honor among map historians. Several of his paintings illustrate maps hanging on walls or globes standing on tables or cabinets. Vermeer painted these cartographical documents with such detail that it is often possible to identify the actual maps. Evidently Vermeer was particularly attached to a Willem Blaeu - Balthasar Florisz van Berckenrode map of Holland and West Friesland as he represented it as a wall decoration in three of his paintings. Though no longer extant the map's existence is known from archival sources and second edition published by Willem Blaeu in 1621 titled "Nova et Accurata Totius Hollandiae Westfriesiaeq. Topographia Descriptore Balthazaro Florentio a Berkenrode Batavo". Vermeer must have had a copy at his disposal or the earlier one published by Van Berckenrode. Around 1658 he showed it as a wall decoration in his painting "Officer and Laughing Girl" which depicts a soldier in a large hat sitting with his back to viewer talking with a smiling girl who holds a glass in her hand. Bright sunlight bathes the girl and the large map on the wall. Vermeer's gift for realism is evidenced by the fact that the wall map mounted on linen and wooden rods is identifiable as Blaeu's 1621 map of Holland and West Friesland. He captures all of its characteristic design decoration and geographic content." His maps formed the bulk of the Atlas Maior that became a collector's item in Amsterdam. One of Blaeu's globes was purchased at auction by Maarten Magielse a Dutch salesman for the record price of 60.000 euro about $80.000. Magielse is now renting it to the globe museum in Vienna where it is being exhibited. Wikipedia unknown
1680200040AG1680. Amsterdam F. de Wit c.1680. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 58.1 cm x 48.8 cm. Sheet Size: 63.8 cm x 53 cm. Original map. In very good condition with only the slightest hints of browning to outer margns only. This beautifully engraved chart shows the main Danish islands of Funen and Zealand plus the eastern coastline of the Jutland peninsula and a little of southern Sweden. The major Danish cities like Copenhagen Aarhus and Odense are shown on the map. The map is filled with minute detail of fortresses cities towns and tiny villages. Relief depicted pictorially The lower right corner of the map bears a stunningly decorative cartouche featuring the Danish royal coat-of-arms and a Classical scene of putti and merfolk frolicking in the sea with the god Mercury in the foreground. A small compass rose lies off the Schleswig Holstein coast in the Colberger Heide. Frederick de Wit 1629/1630 1706 was a Dutch cartographer and artist who drew printed and sold maps. By 1648 during the height of the Dutch Golden Age De Wit had moved from Gouda to Amsterdam. As early as 1654 he had opened a printing office and shop under the name "De Drie Crabben" the Three Crabs which was also the name of his house on the Kalverstraat. In 1655 De Wit changed the name of his shop to the "Witte Pascaert" the White Chart. Under this name De Wit and his firm became internationally known. The first cartographic images that De Wit engraved were a plan of Haarlem that has been dated to 1648. The first charts engraved by De Wit were published in 1654 under the "De Drie Crabben" address. The first map that was both engraved and dated by De Wit was that of Denmark: "REGNI DANIÆ Accuratissima delineatio Perfeckte Kaerte van 't CONJNCKRYCK DENEMARCKEN" in 1659. His first world maps "NOVA TOTIUS TERRARUM ORBIS TABULA AUCTORE F. DE WIT" and Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula appeared around 1660. His Atlas began to appear around 1662 and by 1671 included anywhere from 17 to 151 maps each. In the 1690s he began to use a new title page "Atlas Maior" but continued to use his old title page. His atlas of the Low Countries first published in 1667 was named Nieuw Kaertboeck van de XVII Nederlandse Provinciën and contained 14 to 25 maps. De Wit quickly expanded upon his first small folio atlas which contained mostly maps printed from plates that he had acquired to an atlas with 27 maps engraved by or for him. By 1671 he was publishing a large folio atlas with as many as 100 maps. After Frederick de Wit's death in 1706 his wife Maria continued the business for four years printing and editing De Wit's maps until 1710. However as De Wit's son Franciscus was already a prosperous merchant by this time and had little interest in his father's business he did not take over the publishing house. In 1710 Maria sold the firm at auction. At the auction most of the atlas plates and some of the wall map were sold to Pieter Mortier whose publishing company grew to become one of the largest cartography publishing houses of the 18th century. The 27 chart plates from his 1675 Sea atlas were sold at the 1710 auction to the Amsterdam print seller Luis Renard who published them under his own name in 1715 and then sold them to Rennier and Joshua Ottens who continued to publish them until the mid-1700s.

Reisebeschreibung des Geographen, Topographen und Reiseschriftstellers Martin Zeiller (1589 - 1661). Zeiler war nach dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften zunächst als Hauslehrer und Notar in Linz tätig, mußte von dort aber vor den Nachstellungen der Gegenreformation fliehen. Von 1629 an lebte er in Ulm und hatte hier verschiedene Ämter im gymnasialen Schulwesen inne. Der auch historisch-geographisch vorgebildete Zeiller verfaßte zahlreiche Bücher, vorwiegend zu geographisch-topographischen Themen, ferner Reisehandbücher und -beschreibungen (die Ulmer Stadtbibliothek verwahrt 90 seiner Werke). Er berichtete nicht nur aus eigenem Erleben - dies wäre bei seiner enormen literarischen Produktivität auch gar nicht möglich gewesen - sondern verstand es, als Reisechronist seiner Zeit die Berichte und Beschreibungen seiner gelehrten Zeitgenossen mit Selbsterlebtem zu verbinden und produktiv aufzubereiten. So galt der vielbelesene, kenntnisreiche Reisechronist "bald, infolge seines ausgedehnten schriftstellerischen Wirkens als eine deutsche Berühmtheit. Gelehrte, Staatsmänner und Fürsten unterließen es nie, ihn auf ihrer Durchreise in Ulm aufzusuchen" (ADB 44, 1898, S. 782 - 784). So lag es nahe, daß Matthias Merian, als er Textautoren für seine "Topographia Germaniae" suchte, gern auf die Dienste Zeillers zurückgriff, der diese Aufgabe aufgrund seines ausgedehnten Wissens- und Erfahrungshorizontes auch glänzend bewältigte: "Für die Meriansche Topographie hat nun Z. eine Reihe von Textbüchern geliefert, die durch zweckdienliche Anordnung, geschickte Auswahl des mitzutheilenden sich vortheilhaft von den Leistungen der anderen Mitarbeiter abheben" (ebd.). Bei dem hier vorliegenden "Raisebuch" handelt es sich um ein zusammenfassendes, ergänztes und aktualisiertes "Compendium" zweier Reisebeschreibungen, die Zeiller in den Jahren 1632 und 1642 im Folioformat hatte drucken lassen. Zeiller berücksichtigte in dieser aktualisierten Fassung auch Veränderungen, die zwischenzeitlich als Folge der Kriegshandlungen des Dreißigjährigen Krieges eingetreten waren.

16113462Latin manuscript on vellum with large 6 in diameter suspended black wax seal of James I of England and autograph of Anne of Denmark dated July 23 1610 granting title to Corrodownan Manor in County Cavan Ulster to one John Browne Gent. of Gorgiemill near Edinburgh and his descendants during the Plantation i.e. colonization of Ulster under James I beginning in 1609. The colonists were settled on land confiscated from the Irish inhabitants following the conquest of Ulster 1594-1603 under James's predecessor Elizabeth I. The Plantation was intended to consolidate royal control of Ulster and repress rebellion by importing a substantial Protestant population. Like John Browne and indeed James himself many of the new colonists were Scottish. Some of these families went on to form the backbone of the Protestant Ascendancy in the province. John Browne and his heirs however were not among them. Sir George Carew sent by the king in 1611 to report on the progress of the Plantation noted that "he Browne . sent an agent who took possession set the lands to the Irish returned to Scotland and . performed nothing." The land was sold in 1613 to another Scottish colonist Archibald Acheson. Acheson's descendants were raised to the peerage of Ireland in 1806 as Earls of Gosford and still owned the property in the late nineteenth century. The first nineteen lines of the document grant the Scottish Browne the rights and privileges of James's English and Irish citizens. Especially notable are the requirement that the grantee maintain an adequate supply of arms for defense against the king's enemies lines 77-80 the attempt to encourage the growth of towns 74-76 and the ban on sale of the property to "mere Irish" or to anyone who failed to acknowledge the sovereign as head of the church thus excluding all Catholics by swearing the Oath of Supremacy 114-121.
