1654 A large original copper engraved map titled LIDALIA vel LIDISDALIA REGIO LIDISDAIL auct. Timotheo Pont.A very fine example of this rare map showing the Liddisdale oriented to the north and showing the border with England. German text on verso.Excellent condition with central fold as issued and finehand colouring.Approx 50cmx 60cm including the margins.Joan (Johannes) Blaeu (1596-1673) was a Dutch cartographer active in the 17th Century. Joan was the son of Willem Janszoon Blaeu, founder of the Blaeu firm. Like his farther Willem, Johannes was born in Aklmaar, North Holland, He studied law, attaining a doctorate, before moving to Amsterdam to join the family mapmaking business. In 1633, Willem arranged for Johannes to take over Hessel Gerritszs position as the official chartmaker of the Dutch East India Company, although little is known of his work for that organisation, which was by contract and oath secretive. Where other cartographers often fell into financial ruin, the Blaeu form thrived. It was most likely those profits that allowed the firm to publish the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Altlas Novus, their most significant and best known publication. When Willem Blaeu died in 1638, Johannes, along with this Borther Cornelius (1616-1648) took over the management of the Blaeu firm. In 1662, Joan and Cornelius produced a vastly expanded and updated work, theAtlas Novus, whose handful of editions ranged from 9 to 12 volumes. In 1672 the Great Amsterdam Fire destroyed their offices and most of their printing plates. Johannes Blaeu diedthe following year. Johannes Blaeu was survived by his son, also Johannes but commonly called Joan II, who inherited the familys VOC contract, for whom he compiled maps until 1712.Antique Paper Company are a long established family business selling original antique prints, maps engravings as well as many other paper antiques such as original vintage Decorative Posters, Ephemera, Stamps Postal History, Manuscripts, Antiquarian Books much more.
