Atlas of Germany

Item #: map0009

Title Page to German Atlas, Nicolaas Visscher (1681)This title page belongs to one of the most popular atlases from the 17th century: the atlas `Germania Inferior'. It represents the Northern and Southern Netherlands as one continuous territory. The 17 provinces are represented by women with coats of arms of the provinces. The duchy's Brabant, Gelderland, Limburg and Luxembourg are drawn first. Behind them are women symbolising the other counties and seignories. The first print of this famous atlas was published in 1617 - during the Twelve Year Truce - by the Amsterdam engraver and publisher Pieter van der Keere (1571-c. 1646). When the battle with the Spanish was renewed some years later, this first national atlas explained the reason of the war: the joining of the 17 provinces into one national State. This title page belonged to an edition of the atlas published by Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1702) after 1681.

Each print is available in four sizes (small to extra large). Due to the proportions of the original, the width will be a fixed dimension in inches while the height will be expressed as an approximate range.
