Netherlands East Indies Map with Java Inset – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, 1876 This impressive 19th-century map titled “Nederlandsch Oost-Indië” presents the Dutch colonial territories in Southeast Asia with exceptional clarity and detail. Published in 1876 in the *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand* by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo, and produced by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden, the plate offers a full geographical overview of the Netherlands East Indies at a time when Dutch influence in the archipelago was rapidly consolidating. The map spans Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes (Sulawesi), the Moluccas, Timor, Bali, Lombok, Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa, the Banda Islands, Buru, Ceram, New Guinea, and parts of the Malay Peninsula. Each island group is precisely engraved, and political divisions, residency boundaries, mountains, rivers, and transport routes are clearly marked. Place names appear in their 19th-century Dutch forms—Batavia, Buitenzorg, Soerakarta, Madura, Makassar, Padang, Palembang, and many others—providing an important historical reference for scholars of Indonesian colonial history. Hand-colored outlines distinguish administrative regions and residencies, while the fine line engraving captures coastal contours, mountain chains, river deltas and volcanic features that shaped the archipelago’s geography. Java receives its own large inset occupying the entire lower half of the sheet, reflecting its central importance to Dutch colonial administration and its dense network of cities, roads, sugar plantations, and regencies. Additional inset maps include: • **Sumatra’s west coast**, showing Padang and the Minangkabau highlands • **Timor and surrounding islands** • **Ambon and the Moluccas** (the historic spice islands) • **Celebes and the Gulf of Tomini** • **The Lesser Sunda Islands** (Bali to Timor) • **Borneo residency divisions** • **Detailed harbour plans**, including Batavia and Makassar Together these elements make the map an outstanding reference for the Dutch East Indies during the late colonial period. It represents not just geography but also trade networks, maritime routes, and administrative structure, all rendered with the elegance and scientific precision characteristic of Dutch cartography of the era. Condition Report: Good, with expected light toning and occasional foxing, mostly at the margins. Original center fold as issued. The engraved image is sharp and the hand-coloring remains soft and even. No tears, holes, or repairs. Framing Tips: A warm ivory or cream mat suits the soft 19th-century color palette. A dark wood, black, or teak-tone frame complements Southeast Asian interior themes and gives the map a strong presence. Because of the many attractive inset maps, a slightly wider mat enhances readability and visual balance.

1726 Map of Bengal by Van der Aa after Valentijn – Dutch East Indies This is an original antique map titled “Nieuwe Kaart van ’t Koninryk van Bengale,” published by Pieter van der Aa in Leiden in 1726. The map depicts the Kingdom of Bengal and surrounding regions, based on earlier work by François Valentijn, a Dutch East India Company (VOC) official and historian whose extensive writings on Asia were among the most important early European sources. The engraving covers the Bengal region (modern-day Bangladesh and West Bengal, India), showing detailed river systems including the Ganges and its distributaries flowing into the Gulf of Bengal. Major towns, cities, and kingdoms are labelled in Dutch, such as Orixa (Orissa), Arracan, Tipera (Tripura), and Cos Assam (Assam). Mountain ranges are represented pictorially with stylised hachured peaks, while fertile plains are indicated with field patterns, adding visual texture to the map. In the upper right is an elegant title cartouche with dedication to VOC officials, referencing Mathijs van den Broecke, a director in Bengal, and Johannes Lennep. A compass rose is positioned at the bottom, enhancing its decorative maritime appeal, with north oriented to the right as typical for Dutch maps of Asian regions in this period. Pieter van der Aa (1659–1733) was a prolific publisher known for compiling maps from earlier explorers and engravers into elegant and collectible volumes. His works remain valued for their historical significance, decorative artistry, and connection to VOC trade networks and colonial history. Condition: Good condition. Strong impression with later hand colouring. Light age toning, faint foxing mainly in margins, and some creasing along original fold lines as issued. Fully suitable for framing. Framing tips: Frame this map in a slim gilt or dark wood frame to highlight its decorative hand colouring. Use an off-white archival mat to accentuate the engraving and protect the edges. UV-protective glazing is recommended to maintain colour vibrancy and paper integrity. Keywords block for your listing: bengal map...
