About the Item
Antique Map of Eastern Friesland by von Reilly, 1791
Original engraved map titled Der Provinz Vriesenland vier östliche Grietenyen, published in Vienna in 1791. This detailed sheet depicts the eastern districts (grietenijen) of Friesland, bordering the provinces of Drenthe and Overijssel. The map is finely engraved, with boundaries highlighted in original hand color and the mapped area filled with a light green wash.
This map was published in Franz Joseph Johann von Reilly’s ambitious atlas *Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt* (“Showplace of the Five Parts of the World”), one of the most significant Austrian cartographic projects of the late 18th century. Von Reilly (1766–1820), a Viennese publisher and dealer in prints, sought to compile an atlas that combined accuracy with decorative appeal. The engraving work was carried out by Ignaz Alberti (1760–1794), whose crisp linework and clarity gave von Reilly’s maps their distinctive quality.
The map provides a historical record of the eastern Frisian landscape at the close of the 18th century. Numerous towns and villages are shown, along with waterways, dikes, and fields, offering a snapshot of the agricultural and administrative divisions of the time. The title cartouche, placed at upper right, is framed by foliage in the neoclassical style typical of von Reilly’s atlas.
This is a highly collectible piece for those interested in Friesland, Dutch provincial cartography, or Austrian mapmaking. Its combination of geographical precision and decorative character ensures it remains both historically significant and visually appealing.

Framing tips: A dark wooden or ebonized frame with a cream mount will highlight the engraved detail and hand coloring. A double mat with a fine green inner line can be added to echo the map’s wash and enhance its visual depth.
