About the Item

Friesland Zevenwouden eastern districts map, Reilly, Vienna, c.1791–95 Description: Engraved map with original hand color of the Zevenwouden (Seven Forests) region in Friesland, Netherlands, titled “Der Provinz Zevenwolden vier östliche Grietenyen” (The Province of Zevenwouden, the four eastern districts). The sheet focuses on the eastern part of the region, principally Opsterland and Ooststellingwerf, with borders to Schoterland and Weststellingwerf, and shows the frontier with Drenthe. A decorative rock-and-foliage cartouche (Nro 652) appears at upper right. Dual scales are given below in German miles (15 to a degree) and Dutch miles (19 to a degree). Important places engraved include Gorredijk (marked prominently), Beetsterzwaag, Hemrik, Terwispel, Bakkeveen, Oosterwolde, Donkerbroek, Appelscha, Elsloo, and Haule. Border features such as Friesche Palen are shown, together with the Compagnonsvaart canals and extensive moorland areas labelled Hoog Veen (high moor) and Sandige Heyde (sandy heath). The map reflects settlement, peat reclamation, and agricultural development in Friesland during the late eighteenth century. Condition: Good, with original outline and wash color. Light age toning and scattered marginal foxing. A faint water stain at the lower right outside the engraved border. Wide margins and a strong impression. Framing tips: A walnut or ebonized frame with a cream mount highlights the green wash. A double mat in cream with a soft green inner line echoes the cartouche and boundary colors. Technique: Engraving with original hand color Maker: Franz J. J. von Reilly, Vienna, circa 1791–1795
