EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite map print, titled "Map of North Holland, c.1700-c.1710" by Nicolaes Visscher, offers a captivating glimpse into the geography and culture of the Dutch region during the 18th century. The map depicts a section of North Holland, including the southern tip of Texel, Wieringen, Marken, and a small portion of South Holland. The intricate detailing showcases the extensive network of canals, dikes, and windmills that were essential for flood defense and civil engineering in this low-lying area. At the bottom right of the map, a scale in both German and French miles (1: 150,000) is displayed, providing an indication of the map's accuracy and precision. The title, "Kennemaria et Westfrisia vulgo et vernacule Noord-Holland tam in minores quam Praecipuas Ditiones...," translates to "The smaller and more significant divisions of Kennemar and West Frisia, commonly known as North Holland." The top left of the map features a dedication and allegorical figures, including putti, cherubs, and an eagle holding the imperial crown and coat of arms. The eagle gazes upon an image of a lock, symbolizing the control and protection of the waterways. The surrounding landscape is adorned with cherubs, cornucopias, and other mythological elements, emphasizing the abundance of the region's agricultural resources, such as cheese, butter, and milk, which are depicted at the bottom right alongside farmers. This map is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Dutch Golden Age, showcasing the intricate detail and beauty of the region's geography and culture. Nicolaes Visscher's mastery of engraving techniques is evident in the intricate lines and subtle shading that bring the map to life. The map is a valuable resource for scholars of Dutch history, geography, and cartography, as well as a stunning work of art in its own right.
