Cultural Encounter in New Mexico, Copper Engraving Published in 1673
Located in Langweer, NL
This original copper engraving hails from Arnoldus Montanus' seminal work, "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes," a comprehensive depiction of the Americas published in 1673.
It presents a vivid scene set in colonial New Mexico, showcasing a moment of interaction—possibly a ceremonial or everyday event—between indigenous people and European settlers or explorers. The detailed attire and adornments of the figures suggest a narrative rich in cultural exchange and complexity. This piece is not only a reflection of the artistic style and engraving techniques of the 17th century but also serves as a historical document capturing the early encounters between different worlds.
Published in Amsterdam by Jacob Meurs, this rare German edition offers a unique glimpse into the perceptions and imaginations of European society regarding the New World during the Age of...

Antique Duval Map of East Asia with China, Japan, Korea and the Great Wall, 1663
Located in Langweer, NL
Duval Asia Map 1663 China Japan Korea Great Wall Antique French Cartography
This elegant 17th-century map titled “L’Asie” is a finely executed French representation of the Asian continent by Pierre Duval, one of the foremost cartographers of Louis XIV’s France. Published in Paris in 1663, the map reflects a significant stage in European geographic knowledge, presenting Asia with increasing accuracy at a moment when global exploration, trade, and diplomatic contact were rapidly transforming Western understanding of the East.
Most of the place names shown represent geographical entities that still exist today or once existed historically, giving the map strong continuity between early modern geography and the modern world. Particularly notable is the improved rendering of Japan and the Korean peninsula, both shown with greater accuracy than in earlier 16th-century maps. The lower islands of Japan are better proportioned, and Korea is clearly depicted as a peninsula rather than an island, marking an important correction in European cartography.
China dominates the interior of the continent and is richly detailed with provinces, river systems, and cities. One of the most appealing features is the visible tracing of the Great Wall of China...
