Colom, Jacob Aertsz, 1599-1673
Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 20 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Arms of Holland in a decorative cartouche in the top right corner, flanked by sea deities riding sea creatures, with the arms of Aquitaine inset at the bottom (for a similar motif see Maps K.A.R.(27.)). Scale bars in the bottom left, in a cartouche. Dedication to Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange (1584-1647) in the bottom right corner, on a sheet surmounted with a trophy of instruments, weapons and fruit around Frederick Henry's arms. Below, either side of the dedication, are pendant figures of a fisherman (left) and farmer (right), seated among their instruments and produce. This is the right half of Colom's map, which was too big to fit onto a single page of the atlas (for the first part see Maps K.A.R.(28.)). On account of the dedication it was presumably finished before Frederick Henry's death in March 1647.

1 map : copperplate engraving on 20 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Title in the bottom left corner, in a decorative cartouche beneath a column in a sunburst (a pun on Colom's name). This is the left half of Colom's map, which was too big to fit onto a single page of the atlas. For the second part see Maps K.A.R.(29.).

Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 20 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Arms of Holland in the top right corner, held above the waves by two bearded sea gods, one of whom also carries a smaller shield containing the arms of Aquitaine. Above is an inscription referring to Dirk I, long held to be the first Count of Holland, who was descended from the Counts of Aquitaine (see also Maps. K.A.R. (29.)). Tablet in the bottom left corner, listing one-hundred points indicated by figures. Scale bars on a cartouche at the bottom edge, accompanied by a gentleman with a pair of calipers and surveyor's chain (left), a trident, fishing rods and nets (centre), and a bearded man with a circle and other pair of calipers (right). The fishing equipment is surely a pun on Visscher's name, and similar motifs appear in several of his maps. Dedication to the Dutch provinces in a cartouche in the bottom right corner, surmounted with the enthroned personification of Holland, who holds a Dutch banner in her right hand and a small figure of winged Victory in her left, in imitation of Athena Parthenos. At her feet is the Dutch lion, and below, at the sides of the cartouche, is an armed knight and Neptune, apparently representing war and commerce. Row of nine town plans of cities in North or South Holland below the map, from left to right: Dordrecht, Haarlem, Delft, Leiden, Amsterdam, Gouda, Rotterdam, Alkmaar and Enkhuizen. These designs were copied from Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn's Theatrum Sive Hollandiae (Amsterdam, 1632), but by the time this map was published in the 1650s several were outdated, notably Amsterdam, which had expanded in the intervening decades. Woodcut title below, sandwiched in between the town plans and a description of Holland, which carries the imprint of Jacob Aertz Colom ('boek-verkooper op 't Water, 1640'). G. Schilder, Monumenta Cartographia Neerlandica, vol. 5, Alphen, 1986, pp. 315-9 (this state, this copy p. 316) British Museum, Catalogue of Maps, Prints, Drawings, etc., forming the geographical and topographical collection attached to the Library of his late Majesty King George the third, etc., London, 1829

Visscher, Nicolaes, 1618-1679
Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 9 sheets, hand colour. Title in the top left, on a cartouche below the arms of Zeeland, which are held above the waves by two humanoid sea creatures carrying oars. Scale bar (blooise roede) at the left edge, below the title. Second scale bar towards the bottom of the map, also in blooise roede, on a long, floating tablet occupied by a woman, a seal, and a fisherman with a rod. This last detail recurs in several of Visscher's maps, and is surely a double pun on both his name (the Dutch for fisherman is 'visser') and the unit of measurement (roede, or rod).

1 map : copperplate engraving on 9 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Celebratory Latin verse to the Netherlands in the top right corner. Either side are four soldiers, including William the Silent, and above is a row of deities and allegorical figures: Faith, Apollo, Plenty, the Dutch Lion, ridden by a woman, Health, Fortitude, Mercury, and the Dutch Maiden, with the hat of freedom on a pole. Below, at the bottom of the ensemble, is a frieze of the arms of the seven provinces of the Dutch Republic, each one supported by two putti. Dedication at the bottom edge of the map, in a cartouche surrounded by putti carrying fish, and crowned with the arms of the Dutch Republic. Imprint and scale bars in the bottom right corner, accompanied by pastoral figures and animals.

Visscher, Nicolaes, 1618-1679
Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 6 sheets, hand colour. Title in the top left corner, on a banner held above the water by tritons and winged putti, and crowned with the arms of Flanders. Illustration of Neptune on his sea chariot, accompanied by Peace, who carries a large shield impaled with the arms of the Spanish Netherlands and United Provinces. The motif is completed by a banner attached to Neptune's trident, which bears the date 1648, a reference to the Treaty of Münster and the conclusion of the Eighty Years' War. Scale bar (rijnlandse roeden) at the bottom, accompanied by a fisherman holding two rods and a pair of calipers. This detail recurs in several of Visscher's maps, and is surely a pun on both his name (the Dutch for fisherman is 'visser') and the unit of measurement (roede, or rod). See also 004807865 and 004967543.

Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 12 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Title above the map. Royal arms of France in the top left corner, surrounded by the Order of St Michael. Illustration of the arms of the Seventeen Provinces at the top of the map, on a panel titled 'De wapenen der Zeventien Nederlanden.' Decorative cartouche in the top right corner, framing an oval tablet inscribed with a dedication to the Dutch provinces. Enthroned above is the allegorical figure of Regina Belgica, who holds a merchant ship and sceptre, and is flanked in Salomonic fashion by two lions, who bear the arms of the Spanish Netherlands (left) and United Provinces (right, represented by the seven arrows of Utrecht). Below, either side of the inscription, are four deities: Mars and Minerva at the left, and Mercury and Neptune at the right - appropriately the side to which Regina Belgica holds the merchant ship. At the base of the ensemble is an smaller oval tablet, left empty, beneath which is a swag composed of arms at the left, and instruments at the right - cartographic, astronomical and musical. Secondary cartouche at the left edge, containing a key and an index of the number of towns and villages in each province. At the sides, personifications of Geometry and Painting have been converted into terms. Imprint and scale bars in the bottom right corner, in a third cartouche surmounted by a sundial and armilliary sphere, and two putti brandishing scribes, calipers and rulers. Row of ten numbered equestrian portraits along the top edge, depicting the rulers of both Netherlands from Philip II onwards: Philip II (1527-98); Margaret of Parma (1522-86); Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba (1507-82); Luis de Requesens y Zúñiga (1528-76); John of Austria (1547-78); Matthias, Archduke of Austria, and later Holy Roman Emperor (1557-1619); Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma (1545-92); Francis, Duke of Anjou (1555-84); William the Silent, Prince of Orange (1533-84); Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1532/3-88). The other three portraits from this set are missing. Map flanked at the sides by two columns of ten city prospects, which were also engraved by Gerritsz after Claes Jansz Visscher. The left column is composed of views of Antwerp, Ghent, Nijmegen, Limburg, Namur, Mons, Zutphen, Mechelen, Groningen and the Palace of Coudenberg, while its pendant illustrates Brussels, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Middelburg, Utrecht, Arras, Leeuwarden, Deventer, Dordrecht, and the Binnenhof. In other copies the placement of the top five views from both sides is reversed. The same is true of Klencke's copy of Blaeu's German atlas, for which see 004848100. . G. Schilder, Monumenta Cartographia Neerlandica, vol. 1, Alphen, 1986, pp. 122-4, including this copy.
