Book Description

Amsterdam: c. 1710. Engraved with period outline colour. Bottom margin trimmed close to neat line. All edges browned. 20 1/2 x 24 1/8 inches. 21 1/8 x 24 3/4 inches. A handsome early 18th century Dutch map of Denmark The de la Feuille family came to Amsterdam from France in 1683. The father, Daniel, was a goldsmith and engraver. Talent in engraving in Amsterdam at that time naturally led to publishing and mapmaking. This map was made by Jacob (originally Jacques) on the basis of several contemporary maps. It is very attractive, very much in the style of late Dutch cartography: emphasizing clarity and readability, handsomely coloured and bearing an interesting and appropriate Baroque style cartouche - here demonstrating the rich agricultural and pastoral aspects of the country. Koeman, La F 16, #83
