Antique Town Plan of Emden ‘Germany’ by Braun
Hogenberg, 1597
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Embdena (..)'. Old, antique bird's-eye view plan of Emden, Germany. This bird's-eye view from the southwest over the Dollart shows Emden, which developed from a trading settlement in the 7th/8th centuries into a city as late as late 14th century. In 1494 it was granted staple rights, and in 1536 the harbour was extended. In the mid-16th century Emden's port was thought to have the most ships in Europe. Its population then was about 5,000, rising to 15,000 by the end of the 16th century. The Ems flowed directly under the city walls, but its course was changed in the 17th century by the construction of a canal. Emden has canals within its city limits, a typical feature of Dutch towns, which also enabled the extension of the harbour. Emden's first herring company was founded in 1553, and in 1595 Emden was created a Free Imperial City under the protection of Holland.

Captain Cook
s Encampment in Australia where The Endeavour was Beached, 1803
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print Australia titled 'Gezigt van de Rivier Endeavour op de Kust van Nieuw-Holland'.
View of an encampent on the shore of the Endeavour river on the coast of Australia where the Endeavour boat was beached. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'.
HMS Endeavour was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771.
She was launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, with the Navy purchasing her in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land". Commissioned as His Majesty's Bark Endeavour, she departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the islands of Huahine, Bora Bora, and Raiatea west of Tahiti to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, becoming the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier.
In April 1770, Endeavour became the first European ship to reach the east coast of Australia, with Cook going ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay. Endeavour then sailed north along the Australian coast. She narrowly avoided disaster after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and Cook had to throw her guns overboard to lighten her. Endeavour was beached on the Australian mainland for seven weeks to permit rudimentary repairs to her hull. Resuming her voyage, she limped into port in Batavia in October 1770, her crew sworn to secrecy about the lands that they had visited. From Batavia Endeavour continued westward, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 13 March 1771 and reached the English port of Dover on 12 July, having been at sea for nearly three years.
The ship was largely forgotten after her Pacific voyage, spending the next three years hauling troops and cargo to and from the Falkland Islands. She was renamed in 1775 after being sold into private hands, and used to transport timber from the Baltic. Rehired as a British troop transport during the American War of Independence, she was finally scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in 1778. Historical evidence indicates the ship was sunk just north of Goat Island in Newport Harbor, along with four other British transports.
Relics from Endeavour are displayed at maritime museums worldwide, including an anchor and six of her cannon. A replica of Endeavour was launched in 1994 and is berthed alongside the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney Harbour. The NASA Space Shuttle...

Senex Map of Castile, Leon
La Mancha in The Spanish Heartland, 1714
Located in Langweer, NL
This antique map, titled "A Map of Old & New Castile from the Observations of Rodrigo Mendes Silva and others," depicts the regions of Old Castile and New Castile in Spain, along with the Kingdom of Leon, Estremadura, La Mancha, among others. The map dates back to the early 18th century, a period marked by significant political shifts and territorial changes in Europe, particularly illustrated by the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) that reshaped Spain’s governance and regional boundaries.
The map itself was published in 1714 by John Senex, a prominent English mapmaker, surveyor, globemaker, and geographer of the early eighteenth century. He was apprenticed as a young man to bookseller Robert Clavell and collaborated with notable mapmakers such as Jeremiah Seller and Charles Price. In 1728, Senex's contributions to geography and mapping were recognized when he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, an exceptional honor for a mapmaker, underlining his significant role as the Society's engraver and a publisher of maps by Edmund Halley and other notable figures.
John Senex is renowned for his English Atlas, first published in the same year as this map, 1714, and continued to be printed until the 1760s. Following his death in 1740, his widow Mary Senex managed the business until 1755. Afterward, the stock passed to William Herbert and Robert Sayer for maps, and to James Ferguson for globes.
The map serves not just as a geographical record but also as a historical document, reflecting the territorial divisions significant to Spain's political and economic structure at the time. The focus on Old and New Castile underscores their importance during a transformative era in Spanish history.
Here are some potentially significant places and features of this map:
1. **Old Castile (Castilla la Vieja)**: Historically significant as part of the former Kingdom of Castile, this region includes major cities such as Burgos and Valladolid. These cities could be popular search...

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.
