Antique Map of Ireland – Royaume d’Irlande, Robert de Vaugondy, Venice 1778 Description: This finely engraved 18th-century map depicts the Kingdom of Ireland under the title Royaume d’Irlande divisé en ses quatre Provinces et subdivisé en Comtés. The island is shown in impressive detail, with the traditional four provinces—Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, and Munster—clearly delineated and subdivided into counties by contemporary outline coloring. Coastal features, rivers, towns, and road networks are rendered with the clarity and balance typical of late Enlightenment French cartography. The map was drawn by Robert de Vaugondy, one of the most influential mapmakers of the 18th century and royal geographer to the King of France. This Venetian edition was published in 1778 by Paolo Santini, who issued a number of high-quality Italian editions of leading French cartographic works. Santini’s publications are prized for their crisp engraving, generous format, and restrained coloring, making them particularly attractive for framing. The decorative maritime cartouche, left uncolored as issued, provides a refined visual counterbalance to the densely engraved map surface. Longitude and latitude scales frame the composition, while inset coastal details along the eastern seaboard emphasize Ireland’s maritime orientation and strategic importance during the Georgian period. The overall aesthetic is elegant rather than ornate, lending the map strong decorative appeal for both classic and contemporary interiors. This map sits at the intersection of political geography and decorative cartography, reflecting Ireland’s administrative structure in the late 18th century while remaining visually calm and highly legible. It works exceptionally well as a stand-alone wall piece in libraries, studies, hallways, or heritage-inspired interiors, and also pairs beautifully with maps of England or Scotland from the same period. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light, even age toning throughout. Original centerfold as issued. Minor handling wear and soft creases consistent with age. Contemporary outline coloring well preserved. No major tears or losses. Framing tips: This map benefits from a wide mat to emphasize its scale and clarity. Recommended combinations include a dark walnut or ebonized frame with an ivory or light parchment mat for a traditional library look, or a slim black frame with an off-white mat for a cleaner, architectural presentation. UV glass is advised to preserve the original coloring.

The two engravings displayed side by side depict monumental structures from ancient Egypt and are dated to the late 18th century. They are both examples of European interest in documenting and exploring Egyptian antiquities during the period of early exploration and fascination with the ancient world. ### Image 1: Profile View of the Remains of the Sphinx near the Pyramids of Egypt - Subject: The Sphinx, one of Egypt's most iconic monuments, is shown with its body largely buried in sand, as it was during this period before modern excavations. The figures atop and around the Sphinx provide scale and show the magnitude of the monument. The image also captures European explorers and researchers measuring the Sphinx, emphasizing the curiosity and study of ancient civilizations. - Age: This engraving likely dates from the late 18th century, during a time when European expeditions to Egypt were becoming more common, particularly following Napoleon's campaign in the late 1790s, which sparked Egyptomania across Europe. - Maker: The engraving is credited to Denon and Lege, both of whom were active artists and engravers during this time.

Balkans & Ottoman Europe Map with Athens Inset – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, 1876 This impressive 19th-century map titled “Turkije in Europa, Griekenland, Roemenië, Servië en Montenegro” provides a richly detailed view of the Balkan Peninsula and the remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire during a critical historical moment. Published in 1876 in the Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden, this map captures the political and geographical landscape of the Balkans just before the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78) and the subsequent Treaty of Berlin reshaped the region. The map spans from the Adriatic Sea to the Black Sea, and from the Danube valley down to Crete, covering modern-day Greece, Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Thrace, European Turkey, and the Aegean Islands. Hand-colored boundary lines clearly distinguish political units including the Kingdom of Greece, the Principality of Serbia, the United Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (Romania), and Ottoman provinces such as Rumelia, Thessaly, Epirus, and Macedonia. Major cities—Constantinople (Istanbul), Athens, Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia, Salonika (Thessaloniki), Skodra, Ioannina, Larissa, Adrianople (Edirne), Varna, and Trabzon—are identified with fine engraving work. The map also reflects the complex geography of the region, showing mountain chains such as the Balkans, Pindus, Rhodope, and Dinaric Alps, as well as large river systems including the Danube, Morava, Drina, Vardar, Maritsa, and Iskar. Inset maps provide valuable additional context: one illustrates the Bosphorus and surrounding fortifications, another focuses on Athens and Piraeus, and a third presents the region around the Gulf of Salonika and Northern Greece. These allow a closer look at strategic locations central to 19th-century European geopolitics. This plate captures the Balkans at a moment of transition, when national movements were rising and the Ottoman Empire was gradually losing influence. The elegant engraving, refined typography, and harmonious composition are characteristic of Dutch educational cartography at its peak. Today, the map serves as a historical snapshot of a region defined by shifting borders, cultural layers, and emerging nation-states. Condition Report: Good condition with gentle toning and scattered small foxing marks, mostly in the margins. Original center fold as issued. Image clean and well-printed with soft, even hand-coloring. No tears, losses, or repairs. Framing Tips: A light ivory or cream mat works beautifully to highlight the delicate color washes. A slim dark wood or black frame adds contrast and sophistication. Because the map includes attractive insets, a slightly wider mat border enhances balance and readability. Suitable for libraries, studies, travel-themed interiors, and collectors of Ottoman, Greek, and Balkan cartography.
