Antique Map of Leeuwarden and Dokkum, Friesland by von Reilly, 1791
Original hand-colored map titled 'Der Provinz Oostergo fünf nördliche Grietenyen, mit der Stadt Leeuwarden und Dokkum', published in Vienna in 1791. The map depicts the eastern part of Friesland known as Oostergo, focusing on its rural districts (grietenijen) and highlighting the important cities of Leeuwarden, the provincial capital, and Dokkum, the historic Frisian town famous for the martyrdom of Saint Boniface in 754.
This finely detailed map originates from Franz Joseph Johann von Reilly’s monumental Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt (“Showplace of the Five Parts of the World”), an ambitious late 18th-century Austrian atlas project. Von Reilly (1766–1820) was a Viennese art dealer and publisher, recognized as one of the most influential Austrian mapmakers of his era. The engraving work was carried out by Ignaz Alberti (1760–1794), a skilled Viennese engraver and publisher known for his precision and clarity in cartographic plates.
The map shows villages, waterways, polders, and boundaries of the districts, accentuated by delicate original hand coloring. A decorative cartouche in the upper right corner frames the title within a leafy wreath design, balancing utility with artistry.
This map provides a valuable historical record of Friesland at the end of the 18th century, when Leeuwarden was a thriving cultural and administrative hub and Dokkum retained its importance as a northern maritime town. Today, such maps are prized for their historical and regional insight as well as for their decorative qualities.
