A fine and example of de Wit's celebrated cartographic work, documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 16800s.

Contact seller4-star sellerGood. Few mended tears with slight impact on image; small ink stain to cartouche. Faint original outline color. Size 19 x 23 Inches. This is a c. 1688 Frederic De Wit map of Hungary and the surrounding region, including parts of modern-day Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, and Serbia. The map was issued at the height of the Great Turk…ish War (1683 - 1699), which ravaged the region, but a string of European victories ended Ottoman expansion into Europe. A Closer Look Spanning from Vienna (top-left) to Belgrade (bottom-right), the Danube River immediately commands this map. Buda and Pest are illustrated, along with numerous other towns and villages along the river and throughout the region. Mountains and trees are illustrated pictorially. The map's detail shows a sharp increase compared to the maps produced by the French and Dutch of the mid-17th century, reflecting the rise in interest in and data from this area during the Great Turkish War. The sharp detail of the south-north route between the rivers Sava Drava and the Danube leading to Vienna is less apparent, for example, on the 1677 Nicolas Visscher map covering this region. That said, De Wit's sources are obscure, a pity, as De Wit's map proved influential, being copied by the younger Visscher and other mapmakers, including Senex. The map is embellished with an allegorical cartouche in the lower right. One putto holds an imperial crown over the arms of the Kingdom of Hungary. To the left of the cartouche, a cheerful putto brandishes a sword and a Cross while treading upon a fallen putto in Turkish garb. This unsubtle, triumphal image likely refers to the 1683 Battle of Vienna, a victory by the Christian coalition over the Turkish Empire. Historical Context: The Great Turkish War The Great Turkish War (1683-1699), also known as the War of the Holy League, was a pivotal conflict between the Ottoman Empire and a coalition of European powers united under the Holy League, formed by the Papacy. The war began after the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, where Ottoman forces, led by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa, were decisively defeated by a combined army of the Holy Roman Empire, Poland-Lithuania, and other European allies under the command of Polish King John III Sobieski. This defeat marked the turning point of Ottoman expansion into Europe. The war saw a series of major battles across Central and Eastern Europe, involving Austria, Poland, Venice, and Russia against the Ottomans. Key events included the liberation of Hungary and Transylvania from Ottoman rule, as well as the Venetian recapture of parts of the Peloponnese. The conflict culminated in the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, which significantly curtailed Ottoman territorial control in Europe. Austria gained Hungary and Transylvania, Poland recovered Podolia, Venice gained territories in Greece and Dalmatia, and Russia secured Azov. The Great Turkish War marked the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's territorial decline and a shift in the balance of power in Eastern Europe, solidifying Habsburg dominance in Central Europe while weakening Ottoman influence in the Balkans. Publication History and Census This map was created for inclusion in Frederick de Wit's Atlas . We see dates for it in institutional collections as early as 1659, but these reflect the dates of the composite atlases in which the map had been inserted, likely much later. Given the content of the map relevant to the early part of the 1680s, we support a date no later than 1688. The map is well represented in institutional collections.

Contact seller4-star sellerGood. Mended marginal tears and centerfold split at bottom. Size 19 x 22 Inches. This is an unrecorded, likely pirated map based on Frederic De Wit's c. 1680 map of Asia. While cartographically identical to the De Wit, there are enough variations in the engraving to conclude that it was printed from a different plate not referen…ced elsewhere. A Closer Look Coverage embraces from the Eastern Mediterranean in the west to embrace Japan in the east. The Spice Islands appear in detail, including half of New Guinea. Part of northern Australia ( Holandia Nova ) is sketched in at the lower right. Japan and Hokkaido (Yedso) are mapped according to the 1643 discoveries of Dutchmen Maerten de Vries and Cornelis Jansz Coen. Vries and Coen were in search of gold and silver islands supposedly previously discovered by a mysterious Spanish or Portuguese navigator, Juan de Gama. They sailed up the east coast of Japan and continued northward into the bay separating Honsh? from Hokkaido. They skirted the east coast of this bay before discovering Kunashir, here Staten Land, the most westerly of the Japanese Kuril Islands. They also sighted Iturup, also known as Etorofu, the second Kuril Island. This island they only tenuously explored and named Compagnie, after the VOC, their sponsors. Subsequent maps assigned great size to Compagnie on little more than speculation. These islands were not more properly mapped until the explorations of Vitus Bering. Korea appears with minimal detail, but correctly indicated as a peninsula rather than the insular depiction common on maps from the late 16th and early 17th century. Chiamay The apocryphal Lake Chiamay appears just north of the Bay of Bengal as the source of four important Southeast Asian River systems: the Irrawaddy, the Dharla, the Chao Phraya, and the Brahmaputra. The curious Lake Chiamay (also called Chiam-may or Chian-may), roughly located in the area of Assam but sometimes as far north as Tibet and China, began to appear on maps of this region as early as the 16th century and persisted well into the mid-18th century. An Unknown Engraving While adhering cartographically to the c. 1680 De Wit map, the present example contains numerous differences in engraving that distinguish it as a separate plate, possibly from the hand of a different engraver. De Wit's engravers' imprint (which appeared at bottom right of center, under the word 'India') is absent here. The longitude gradations have been rounded up to the nearest ten (for example, where the original numbers are 68, 78, and so on, the present example rounds up to 70, 80, and so on). Between longitude lines, lower-case reference letters in brackets have been included. The present map labels the Equator 'Aequator Siva Linea Aequinoctialis' (sic), where no label appears on the first state. On this map, the place name 'Holandia Nova' has only the single 'l', whereas the 1680 spelling of 'Hollandia' is correct. Most strikingly, the map's title on the cartouche has clearly been printed from a separate plate and exhibits a prominent platemark of its own. This separate plate even appears to have come from yet another copy of the c. 1680 De Wit plate: at its top edge, the remnants of the long tail feathers belonging to the bird engraved atop the plinth can be plainly seen between the words 'Accuratissima totius'. The variations shown - revealing misunderstandings that a cartographer would be less likely to miss than an engraver - suggest to us that this work is a pirated version of the map by a working engraver, rather than an actual De Wit edition. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by an unknown engraver at some point after 1689. We see no catalog entries for it and no sales records. Richard Betz, in his The Mapping Of Africa , identifies a single map after De Wit's 1680 map of Africa exhibiting similar alterations to the longitude lines as here, albeit without the reference letters evident here.

Lysmål, inkl. tekst: 39 x 52 cm. Med pladerande og brede margener. Motivet lidt mørknet. Indrammet i smuk guldlakeret ramme fra c. 1850. * Meget dekorativt pro…spekt af København set fra Amager. Grundlaget er Jan van Wijks store malede prospekt af byen fra 1610, som kendes i et eneste bevaret kobberstik, men var internationalt udbredt i første halvdel af 1600-tallet. Maleriet brændte på Københavns Rådhus i 1728. Motivet er dog her opdateret, så Børsen og den nordligste ende af Christianshavn er kommet med. Holmens Kirke fremtræder dog stadig som Bremerholms ankersmedie. I havnen ses hollandske og engelske skibe, som de så ud på stikkets udførelsestidspunkt. I forgrunden er vist en stor gruppe dragoner, som minder om, at Svenskekrigene og belejringen var i frisk erindring. Øverst på billedet optræder det danske rigsvåben og Københavns våben.
