"Annae, D.G. Magnae Brittaniae Reginae, ut et Magnatum Proceorumque in Anglia Confessus", etching made by Romeijn de Hooghe in 1702 and published by Pieter Rotterdam. Size: 48 × 57,5 cm. Anne, Queen of Great Britain (1665-1714), was the daughter of King James II. James was deposed during the Glorious Revolution, after which Will…iam III of Orange became king and his wife Mary (Anne's older sister) became queen. William III died on March 8, 1702, and Anne became Queen of England and Scotland. She was crowned on April 23 at Westminster Abbey. She was immediately popular. In her first speech to the English Parliament, on 11 March, she distanced herself from her late Dutch brother-in-law and said, "As I know my heart to be entirely English, I can very sincerely assure you there is not anything you can expect or desire from me which I shall not be ready to do for the happiness and prosperity of England." Here we see a session of the House of Lords with Queen Anne on throne; above, two figures representing Plenty (with a cornucopia) and War (with a shield) hold a scroll on which is shown the Queen with Prince George of Denmark besides her presiding over the Commons; below the main scene are two smaller scenes: on the left the heralds proclaiming the Queen, and on the right, the Queen in Council. Literature: Frederik Muller "De Nederlandsche geschiedenis in platen : beredeneerde beschrijving van Nederlandsche historieplaten, zinneprenten en historische kaarten" (1863-1882), vol. IV, p. 249, no. 2738b. Price: Euro 450,-.

Littora Brasiliae / Pascaert van Brasil, copperplate engraving first published by Frederik de Wit, here in an unaltered edition from 1715 from Louis Renard's "Atlas de la Navigation et du Commerce qui se fait dans touts le Parties du Monde". With original (') hand colouring. Size: 49 x 56.4 cm. The Dutch West India Company (WIC)… captured Olinda and Recife from the Portuguese in 1630, as part of a broader strategy to control the lucrative sugar trade. Brazil was at the time the world's largest sugar producer, and the Dutch sought to take over the Portuguese grip on that trade and channel the revenues through Amsterdam. Under the enlightened governance of Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (16371644), Dutch Brazil reached its zenith: scientists and artists documented the flora, fauna and population, and Recife grew into a cosmopolitan colonial capital. After his departure the Dutch authority weakened rapidly, and in 1654 the WIC capitulated to the Portuguese-Brazilian insurgents. This decorative sea chart shows the entire eastern coast of Brazil, from the mouth of the Amazon in the northwest to the Río de la Plata in the southeast. It is a nautical chart based on the projection method that enabled sailors to plot courses using the characteristic wind rose lines (loxodromes) that criss-cross the sheet in all directions. These lines are not decorative but functional: a navigator would place a ruler on them to determine his course. On the waters surrounding the Brazilian coast we see four vessels sailing the Atlantic trade routes, carefully placed as testimony to the liveliness of those waters. The cartouche at the bottom is a masterpiece of baroque imagination, made by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708). We see Portuguese and Dutch soldiers with banners and a cross subduing indigenous warriors. To the right, in front of a hut made of leaves, stand figures with feathered headdresses; one of them drinks with quiet dignity from a silver dish, a subtle image of the barter trade and the European civilising rhetoric that accompanied colonisation. In the background a colourful procession of Brazilians passes by, with parasols held above the crowd. At the top of the hill stands a hoisting mechanism with baskets, a reference to the heavy labour by which the country's riches were extracted. Among the figures are camels geographically entirely out of place, but for the Amsterdam engraver simply the quintessential symbol of an exotic, distant world. At the centre of the cartouche a pineapple takes pride of place in the 17th and 18th centuries the very icon of Brazil and of colonial wealth. The engraving was first published in 1678 by the Amsterdam cartographer Frederik de Wit, a quarter of a century after the Dutch had definitively lost Brazil. That paradox is telling: the map appeared not as an instrument of governance, but as a reminder of grand ambitions. The plate was subsequently reused for decades by successive Amsterdam publishers, each time with only the publisher's name updated. The present example was published by Louis Renard in 1715. Price: Euro 850,-.

RICHLY DECORATED MAP OF ROTTERDAM "Tabula Rotterdodami Novissima", copper engraving by Adriaen Schoonebeek, 2nd state (of 4) published by Jacobus Allard approx. 1689, coloured by a later hand. Size. 46 x 55,5 cm. The map shows us Rotterdam on a scale of approximately 1: 5000. Each house, bridge, windmill, church, etc. is shown i…n great detail. There are about twenty boats and ships in the Maas in front of the city, and many more in the wide canals. The gardens, fields and scattered houses and windmills just outside the surrounding city moat are also depicted. The map was made around 1689 by the Amsterdam artist and engraver Adriaen Schoonebeek. He had learned his skills from Romeijn de Hooghe who was undoubtedly responsible for the beautiful etched decorations, of the map. Jacobus Allard published the map in its second state here. His older brother Carel Allard extensively updated the map and published it for anew in 1708. The legends on both sides are lined with putti, flowers and a rich harvest. Under the City Triangle there is a rich allegorical decoration. In the middle the city maiden bears a spear and Rotterdam coat of arms, Mercury indicates the commercial spirit of the city, Neptune indicates its location on the water; Minerva the goddess of wisdom carries a spear with a banner and "SPQR" [the senate and people of Rotterdam]; an Ottoman with a camel, an Indian, a lion, an African with an ostrich indicate relations with all corners of the world; the satyr seducing the river nymph (far left) and the Horn of Plenty indicate prosperity; and the Maas also produces fish. Despite the extensive legends, that give the impression of reliability, the map does not provide up-to-date information. As often the case, the engraver used an older copper plate from around 1677 for this issue of the city map. He decorated the map, added new numbers to the legend and finally gave the map his name and address. Price: 4.150,-.

BEAUTIFUL MAP OF NORMANDY AND PICARDY "Carte Maritime des Environs de Dieppe depuis Asselane jusques au Havre de Grace", copper engraving made by Romeijn de Hooghe and published by Pieter Mortier of Amsterdam in 1693. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 62 x 50 cm. Elaborately etched and engraved chart of northwestern France with th…e regions of Picardy and Normandy including the town of Dieppe and the mouth of the Seine river with Le Havre and Rouen. There are lovely inset views of Dieppe and Rouen. Dieppe was the premier port of France in the 17th century and had housed the most advanced French school of cartography in the 16th century. The town was largely destroyed by an Anglo-Dutch naval bombardment in 1694. Le Havre affirmed its maritime and international calling during the 17th century when the French West India Company settled there in 1643. There were imports of exotic products from America (sugar, cotton, tobacco, coffee, and various spices) and slave trade enriched local traders. Le Havre was the third largest French slave trade port (after Nantes and La Rochelle. The Anglo-Dutch bombarded the city several times during the Nine Year's War, notably in 1694 and in 1696. In the 17th century prosperity was brought to the city of Rouen through the textile trade and the increased use of port facilities, as well as the development of public transportation and other industries. Rouen was well known for the production of wool and faience (glazed ceramic ware); wool being the main source of wealth for the city. The map is from the "Cartes marines a l'usage des armées du Roy de la Grande Bretagne", the second part of the "Neptune François", in which charts are larger and more lavishly decorated than those of any preceding book of this kind. This magnificent work was intended more as a show piece than something to be used by pilots at sea. (According to Cor Koeman it is "the most expensive sea-atlas ever published in Amsterdam in the seventeenth century".) This part of the atlas, which contains nine charts, constitutes "the most spectacular type of maritime cartography". It was prepared for the use of William III who needed accurate information on the Channel coasts for his war plans against king Louis XIV of France. In 1694 he sent an expedition to attack several of the ports which are illustrated in the etched vignettes that decorate these charts. What has won their lasting fame, however, is the identity of their author: the artist-engraver Romeijn de Hooghe (1645-1708). Since he undertook all stages of production himself, the charts exhibit a rare harmony of design and execution. The allegorical subjects which characterise his designs are here transformed into dramatic cartouches. This map is dedicated to Diederik Dicx (1650-1719) a high ranking Dutch civil servant who was bailiff of the water board of Kennemerland (NL). Price: Euro 1.350,-.

ACCOUNT OF THE SIEGE OF NAARDEN "Belegeringe der Stadt Naerden Zijnde de Eerste overwinninge die zijn Konincklijcke Hoogheyt de Heer Prinse van Oranjen heeft gedaen verovert op den 12 September 1673." (Siege of the city of Naarden, being the first victory achieved by His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange on September 12, 1673.…) Etching with engraving made in 1673 by Romeijn de Hooghe, published by Marcus Doornick in Amsterdam. Size (print): 41.5 x 53.2 cm. (Size frame: 67 x 78 cm.) In April 1672, England and France declared war on the Dutch Republic. After French troops crossed the Rhine at Lobith on June 12, 1672, the Dutch defensive lines collapsed. Holland and Zeeland managed to hold out only by flooding parts of Holland and Brabant. After the fall of the States General and the takeover by Stadtholder William III, a major counteroffensive began with the recapture of the fortress of Naarden on September 12, 1673. The successful siege and capture of the fortress are depicted here by Romeijn de Hooghe (1645-1708). De Hooghe illustrated various scenes and key figures on the plate, which are explained by descriptive inscriptions. In the center of the plate, we see William III surrounded by his staff. The mayor of Naarden is kneeling before the prince. On the right in the foreground, the French troops are retreating. In the foreground, there are scenes from the soldiers' life in the army camp. In the distance, the siege and storming of the city can be seen. At the top, on a hanging cloth, is a map of the city and the positions of the besiegers. An "Account of the Siege and Capture of the City of Naarden" by the Prince of Orange on September 13, 1673, also appeared as a pamphlet with an illustration by Romeijn de Hooghe, displayed here in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Price: Euro 1.950,- (including frame) NB: This piece was on display at Slot Zuylen from June 3 to September 18, 2022, as part of the exhibition "Moord en Brand! Slot Zuylen en Rampjaar 1672" (Murder and Fire! Slot Zuylen and the Disaster Year 1672.).
