Lot description

Engr., 45,8 x 55,6 cm (sl. browned, sm. clear brown stain in the upper edge, sm. restoration in the right lower corner, 1 tiny hole).

Hinged at upper edge. Under passe-partout.

Early, unrecorded (preparatory?), state of Verbiest's map of Zeeland. Hollstein, Van Ortroy and Blonk-van der Wijst all mention the address in lower right corner in every state, here not (yet?) present. The map is dated 1632, the same year as the first state described in the bibliographies. Decorated with a large title cartouche and numerous ships.
