Chairish

$1,395

This double-page etching with contemporary coloring, entitled Norvegia Regnum, was realized by the cartographer Frederick de Wit for the famous Atlas published in Amsterdam in ca. 1680. The state of preservation is fair: central fold reinforced in antiquity on the reverse, cropped margins, stains and browning of the paper. Folio, measures ca. cm 51,5x59,8 Inscription on the reverse "Foglio 13 / Norveggia " Frederick de Wit was a cartographer and map-seller who was best known for his atlases and his Dutch town maps. His maps were known for their accuracy and detail, and contributed significantly to the documentation and understanding of the lands explored and discovered in the 17th century. His work had a considerable influence on the diffusion of geographical and cartographic knowledge of the time. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
