Frederick De Wit. “Accuratissima Galliae Tabula. Gallia Vulgo dicta le Royaume de France.”
Amsterdam: F. de Wit, ca. 1680. 19 1/8 x 22 1/2. Engravings. Original hand color. Some toning and soft creases at centerfold. Else, very good condition.
Frederick de Wit followed in the footsteps of the earlier Dutch cartographic publishers Jansson and Blaeu, and like them, he issued maps known for their beautiful engraving and hand coloring. This map is a fine example of his work, with copious and precise engraving, lovely original hand color, and an elaborate and attractive title cartouche.
