Antique Map of Picardy, Aroits and French Flanders by Bonne, c.1780
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Carte des Gouvernements de Flandre Francoise, d'Artois, de Picardie et du Boulenois.' An attractive example of Rigobert Bonne's 1771 decorative map of the French regions of Picardy, Artois, and French Flanders. Covers the region in full from the English Chanel to Normandy. A large decorative title cartouche appears in the upper right. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century.

Antique Map of Northern India and the Bengal Gulf by Mallet, 1686
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a fine example of 17th or early 18th-century cartography, showcasing Southeast Asia, including parts of India, China, and the Gulf of Bengal. The French-labeled map highlights early European understanding of the Orient during the Age of Exploration. Mounted in a soft cream matting board, the presentation enhances the map’s historical appeal while protecting its delicate condition. The map features detailed geographical elements such as rivers, coastal lines, and mountain ranges. Regions like Tartarie, the Presqu'Isle de l'Inde, and the Golfe de Bengala are illustrated with early cartographic precision. Subtle hand-coloring highlights borders and coastal areas, adding to its visual charm. In terms of condition, the map is well-preserved with clean paper with some waterdamage in the top, light toning, intact margins, and no visible tears or damage. The hand-coloring remains vibrant, reflecting careful handling over centuries. This map provides insight into the evolving European knowledge of Asia and would make a distinguished addition to any collection of antique maps or historical artifacts. Antique map titled "Partie Orientale de la Terre Ferme de l'Inde Moderne". Original antique map of the northern part of India and the Bengal Gulf. This map originates from Alain Manesson Mallet's 'Description de l 'Univers'. Artists and Engravers: Alain Manesson Mallet (1630?1706) was a French cartographer and engineer. He started his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV, became a Sergeant-Major in the artillery and an Inspector of Fortifications. He also served under the King of Portugal, before returning to France, and his appointment to the court of Louis XIV. His military engineering and mathematical background led to his position teaching mathematics at court. His major publications were Description de L'Univers (1683) in 5 volumes, and Les Travaux de Mars ou l'Art de la Guerre (1684) in 3 volumes. His Description de L'Universe contains a wide variety of information, including star maps...
