About the Item
Title: Map of the British Isles with Insets of London and Dublin, Leiden 1876
This detailed 19th-century Dutch map, titled “Het Britsche Rijk,” was published in 1876 in the Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo, and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden. The map presents a comprehensive view of the British Isles—England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland—finely engraved and delicately hand-colored to distinguish political boundaries and geographic divisions.
Each country is outlined in a distinct color: red for England, yellow for Scotland, green for Wales, and blue for Ireland. The map includes all major cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges, with excellent clarity and proportional accuracy. Insets along the right and lower margins provide enlarged views of London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, while smaller maps detail the Channel Islands and the Isles of Man and Scilly. A full list of counties for each nation appears in the left margin, serving as an essential reference for students and geographers.
This map reflects the educational and scientific focus of Dutch cartography in the late 19th century, when accuracy and legibility were paramount. Its balanced composition and neat typography make it a fine example of the precision printing typical of Noothoven van Goor’s Leiden press, which was renowned for its geographic and academic publications.
