Antique map of Gaasterland with towns of Friesland by von Reilly, 1791
Antique engraved map with original hand color of the southern Friesland region known as Gaasterland, titled “Der Provinz Westergo zwey südliche Grietenyen mit dem Gaasterland und der Stadt Staveren, Sloten, Workum, Ylst und Hindelopen.” Published in Vienna in 1791 by Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly, this sheet is part of his grand atlas series 'Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt'.
The map depicts the southern districts of Friesland including the coastal and lake regions along the Zuiderzee (now IJsselmeer). Important towns shown include Staveren (Stavoren), Sloten, Workum, Ylst (IJlst), and Hindelopen, all historically significant Frisian cities. The lakes Sloter Meer, Balkster Meer, and Fluessen are clearly engraved, together with waterways, villages, and cultivated lands. The map is framed by bold hand-colored borders, with a decorative cartouche at lower right surrounded by foliage.
Von Reilly (1766–1820) was a Viennese art dealer, cartographer, and publisher, best known for his ambitious atlases. The engraving work for his maps was carried out by Ignaz Alberti (also known as Ignaz Albrecht, 1760–1794), an Austrian illustrator and engraver. Reilly’s maps are valued for their clarity, detail, and fine execution.
This map is a valuable historical record of Gaasterland and the southern Frisian towns, combining cartographic precision with artistic appeal. It will interest collectors of Dutch regional maps, Friesland history, and late 18th-century continental cartography.
Condition:
Very good, with light age-related toning and minor marginal wear. Blank verso. Strong impression with attractive hand coloring.
Framing tips:
A dark wooden or walnut frame suits the bold outlines of the map. A cream or ivory mat provides contrast, while a soft green inner line will echo the foliage cartouche and enhance the decorative character.
Technique: Engraving with original hand color
Maker: Franz J. J. von Reilly, Vienna, 1791; engraved by Ignaz Alberti
