17th-Century Original Antique Map of Guangxi Province, China – Qvangsii by Blaeu
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Antique 17th-Century Map of Guangxi Province, China – "Qvangsii" by Blaeu, Richly Illustrated and Colored Description: This fascinating 17th-century map of Guangxi Province, historically referred to as "Qvangsii," was crafted by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of the *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. Blaeu’s atlas, created in collaboration with Jesuit missionary Martino Martini, introduced European audiences to the geography of China in an unprecedented way. Guangxi Province, known for its striking karst landscapes and important historical trade routes, is depicted here in remarkable detail. The map highlights the province’s topography, including mountain ranges, rivers, and towns, all meticulously engraved and labeled in Latin. It also captures key trade connections and cultural significance, as Guangxi historically served as a bridge between China and Southeast Asia. The decorative cartouche at the top left is adorned with figures in traditional Chinese costumes, symbolizing the cultural richness of the region and adding artistic elegance to the map. This map was engraved using the copperplate technique, known for its ability to produce fine, detailed lines. The hand-coloring further enhances the visual impact, clearly distinguishing territorial divisions and natural features. Blaeu’s reputation for both accuracy and artistry is evident in this piece, making it a collector’s item of historical and aesthetic significance. Guangxi Province, historically referred to as "Qvangsii," is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, unique karst landscapes, and cultural diversity. It is famous for its dramatic limestone formations, verdant hills, and picturesque rivers, making it one of the most visually striking regions in China. Guangxi has historically been a significant trade corridor between China and Southeast Asia, contributing to its cultural and economic importance. It is also home to various ethnic minority groups, including the Zhuang, Miao, and Dong, whose traditions and festivals enrich the region's cultural tapestry. Important places in Guangxi include Guilin, known for its iconic karst mountains and the Li River, which has inspired poets and artists for centuries. Yangshuo, a town near Guilin, is celebrated for its stunning natural scenery and outdoor activities. Nanning, the provincial capital, is an important economic and cultural hub. The Longji Rice Terraces, also known as the Dragon’s Backbone, are an engineering marvel and a popular tourist destination. Beihai, a coastal city, is known for its silver beaches and maritime trade history. Keywords for this map include 17th-century China map, Guangxi Province, Qvangsii map, antique Chinese maps...

Rare Antique Map of Southwestern Europe and West Africa by V.M. Coronelli, 1692
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Globe Gore: Southwestern Europe and West Africa by Vincenzo Coronelli This exquisite, hand-colored globe gore by Vincenzo Coronelli, one of the most renowned 17th-century cartographers, represents Southwestern Europe and West Africa. A segment of Coronelli's monumental 42-inch terrestrial globe, this gore is a remarkable example of the artistry and geographical knowledge of the late 1600s. Covering France, the Iberian Peninsula, and all of Africa west of a line extending from Algeria to the Bight of Benin, it also includes the Canary Islands and Madeira. Coronelli’s globe gores are celebrated for their exceptional engraving and accuracy, and this piece is no exception. The coastline of Africa is depicted with remarkable precision for its time, reflecting the latest geographical knowledge of European explorers. In contrast, the interior of Africa—still a mystery to European mapmakers—features mythical elements such as fantastical mountain ranges and exotic fauna. Giraffes, elephants, lions, and mysterious giant birds populate the landscape, offering a glimpse into the imagination and curiosity of the era. One notable detail is the Gambia...
