About the Item
Antique Map of Friesland – “La Seigneurie d’Ouest-Frise ou Frise Occidentale” by Jaillot, 1709
This elegant and detailed map, titled “La Seigneurie d’Ouest-Frise ou Frise Occidentale,” presents the province of Friesland in the Netherlands during the early 18th century. Published in 1709 by the celebrated French cartographer Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, the map captures the region’s intricate network of waterways, reclaimed polders, and coastal islands, set within richly engraved borders.
Drawn in Jaillot’s refined style, the map features finely shaded relief and carefully coloured boundaries delineating towns, villages, and administrative divisions. Coastal details include the Frisian Islands, the Zuyder Zee (now IJsselmeer), and the Wadden Sea, with their tidal flats and sandbanks meticulously rendered. Place names are given in French, reflecting the map’s intended audience among the educated European elite.
Two decorative cartouches enhance the composition: the upper right contains a scale bar framed by ornamental motifs, while the lower right cartouche displays the title with elaborate scrollwork and floral embellishments in full hand colour. The map not only served as a geographic record but also as a testament to Friesland’s identity within the Dutch Republic, during a period when the Netherlands was at the height of its maritime and economic power.
Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (1632–1712) was one of the most important French cartographers of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, known for his collaboration with the Sanson family and for producing large-format, highly decorative maps for atlases aimed at a wealthy and scholarly clientele.
Condition: Very good for age. Light toning to margins, minor spotting, and original centre fold as issued. Strong impression with attractive later hand-colouring.
Framing tips: A gilt or dark walnut frame with a cream archival mat will enhance both the delicate colouring and the ornate cartouches, making the map a striking display piece.
Technique: Hand-coloured copper engraving
Maker: Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, Paris, 1709
