S.J.Baalde Amsterdam 1788 

copper engraved map with original outline colouring; overall size 21 x 27 cm, plate size 18 x 24 cm.

from G. Brender à Brandis’s ‘Nieuwe natuur- geschied- en handelkundige Zak- en Reis-atlas…’. – The plates are the result of the collaboration of Keizer and de Lat. Keizer (fl.1706-1750) was a Dutch engraver and draughtsman who moved from Amsterdam to Amelo. Together with de Lat (fl. 1734 – 1750), a map publisher and bookseller from Deventer, they published miniature and pocket atlases up until 1747. N. T. Gravius (fl1788-c1800), a publisher from Amsterdam, acquired and re-issued their plates.

Charming map of Bohemia, with a small cartouche.

folds as issued; edges verys lightly frayed; paper evenly toned; occasionally some foxing; o/w very good condition.
