About the Item
Antique Map of Franeker and Harlingen by von Reilly, 1791
Fine original map titled Der Provinz Westergo vier nördliche Grietenyen mit der Stadt Franeker und Harlingen, published in Vienna in 1791. This decorative map presents the northern part of the Westergo region in Friesland, the Netherlands, focusing on the important towns of Franeker and Harlingen. The map is outlined in contemporary hand color, marking boundaries between grietenijen (rural districts), waterways, and settlements.
The map originates from Franz Joseph Johann von Reilly’s ambitious atlas project *Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt* (“Showplace of the Five Parts of the World”), one of the first comprehensive atlases produced in Austria at the end of the 18th century. Von Reilly (1766–1820) was a Viennese publisher and dealer of maps and prints, best remembered for his atlases and geographical works. The engraving was executed by Ignaz Alberti (also Albrecht, 1760–1794), a skilled Austrian engraver and publisher active in Vienna, whose fine linework and cartographic clarity are evident in this plate.
The map is decorated with an elegant title cartouche at upper left, framed by classical motifs and foliage. It provides a historical snapshot of Friesland in the late 18th century, when Franeker was still home to one of Europe’s oldest universities (established in 1585, closed in 1811) and Harlingen flourished as a harbor city with trade routes across the North Sea.
An attractive piece for collectors of Dutch provincial maps and Austrian cartography, this map combines both historical and decorative interest.
Condition report: Good condition with general age-related toning. Original contemporary hand coloring, margins well preserved. Blank verso. Please study the images carefully for a full impression of condition.
Framing tips: A classic gilt or dark wood frame paired with a cream or light ivory mat will emphasize the hand coloring and cartouche detail. For a more dramatic presentation, a double mat with a subtle green or ochre inner line can echo the palette of the map.
Technique: Engraving with original hand color
