Title: IRLANDIA – Antique Map of Ireland, Latin Cartography by Du Val c.1650
Description:
This original antique map depicts the island of Ireland under the Latin title “Irlandia” and presents the country divided into its historic provinces and regions. The map is engraved in a clear, compact format and shows Ireland in full, bordered by latitude markings and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, here labeled “Oceanus.” The coastline is boldly delineated, with prominent bays, headlands, and inlets clearly articulated, reflecting the cartographic priorities of the mid-17th century.
The interior is densely labeled with towns, rivers, and regional names. Historic provinces such as Ultonia (Ulster), Connacia (Connacht), Lagenia (Leinster), and Momonia (Munster) are clearly identified. Numerous towns and settlements appear, including Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny, Galway, Athlone, and Armagh, among many others. Rivers and lakes are engraved schematically, providing geographic orientation rather than measured precision, consistent with period mapping practices.
The map is engraved in Latin and features a restrained title cartouche at the lower right reading “Irlandia,” followed by the credit “Par P. Du Val G.D.R.” This attribution links the map to the French cartographic tradition associated with the Du Val family, active in Paris during the 17th century and known for producing compact, informative maps for atlases and geographic compendia. A simple scale appears at the bottom, engraved as “Scala Milliaria Gallica,” indicating French miles.
The engraving is monochrome, without later color, emphasizing the clarity of line work and typography. This map is both an appealing historical document and a classic example of early modern European views of Ireland.

Artists and Engravers: 1585 Mercator map of Ireland, entitled "Irlandiae Regnvm." Copperplate engraving on verge type hand laid paper with watermark. Description: Published in Amsterdam by Mercator/Hondius ca. 1585.Artists and Engravers: Mercator was born in Rupelmonde in Flanders and studied in Louvain under Gemma Frisius, Dutch writer, astronomer and mathematician. The excellence of his work brought him the patronage of Charles V, but in spite of his favor with the Emperor he was caught up in the persecution of Lutheran protestants and charged with heresy, fortunately without serious consequences. No doubt the fear of further persecution influenced his move in 1552 to Duisburg, where he continued the production of maps, globes and instruments. Mercator's sons and grandsons, were all cartographers and made their contributions in various ways to his atlas. Rumold, in particular, was responsible for the complete edition in 1595.
