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...

1810 Hand-Coloured Engraving - Tatar Peasants of the Crimean Peninsula
Located in Langweer, NL
1810 Hand-Coloured Engraving - Tatar Peasants of the Crimean Peninsula Description: This 1810 hand-coloured copperplate engraving from Carl Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" ("Picture Book for Children") presents a lively scene of Tatar peasants in the Crimean Peninsula (modern-day Ukraine). The engraving captures rural daily life in vivid detail, depicting various activities that reflect the agricultural lifestyle of the region. In the foreground, a peasant, smoking a pipe, points while instructing a child, creating an engaging snapshot of a family scene. Nearby, a woman, dressed in traditional clothing, is shown milking a dairy cow, demonstrating the importance of livestock to the community's economy. To the left, a farmer leads two Bactrian camels pulling a hay wagon, showcasing the use of these hardy animals for heavy labor and transportation in the region. The background features thatched-roof homes, with a minaret rising above them, symbolizing the cultural influence of Islam in the region. The peaceful pastoral setting, with cows grazing and a well in the foreground, further emphasizes the agricultural way of life. The detailed hand-colouring adds vibrancy to the scene, highlighting the distinct attire and activities of the Crimean Tatar...

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania Pennsylvania State
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...
