Description
Volume including two series :
1st series : [Schut, Pieter Hendricksz]. Theatrum praecipuarum urbium Ducatus Brabantiae…
Illustrated with an engraved title page and 43 plates.
A very rare town atlas created by P. H. Schut and published by J. N. Visscher featuring the towns of Brabant, Flanders and Zeeland. This series is followed by a series of 89 plates from F. Hogenberg's Geschichtsblätter.
This series of 43 plates of animated views of towns engraved by Pieter Hz Schut (c. 1619-1660) was published for the first time in 1656, in a shared edition by Zacharias Roman and Nicolaes Visscher.
P. H. Schut is the inventor of this new type of "city atlas" which includes plates showing all towns identically.
These prints were also used to form a broad decorative frame around the large wall maps of the various provinces made after the separation of the Northern and Southern Netherlands.
This edition of 1657 (edition A) contains an engraved title, 42 numbered plates and plate 43 with the number in manuscript but without Roman’s addresss. The view of Sluys has engraved in the plate "L. Jordaens delinea"
This edition differs from edition A in that none of the plates bears the address of Z. Roman and there is only one title-page.
2nd series : Hogenberg, Franz. Geschichtsblätter.
Series of 89 engraved plates with integral captions in German verse. The scenes figure the Dutch War of Independence against the Spanish and for religious freedom, covering the years 1566-1579. The plates feature town views, maps of the Spanish Netherlands, and naval battles and war events.
Paper age-toned and brown staining, a few plates worn at edges, last few plates frayed at edges and laid down. A few tears were repaired.
Hogenberg (1535-1590) was sympathetic to the Reformation and fled from Antwerp to Cologne, where he set up a printing shop. He published a series of historical prints representing contemporary events, including many battles, sieges, executions, assassinations, parades, court scenes, etc. of the Eighty Years War in the Netherlands, France, and other parts of Europe. The works is known as "Die Geschichtsblätter". The engravings were produced shortly after a historic event occurred and were primarily of events of interest to the European populations.
