Description :

This beautifully engraved hand coloured original map of the English county of the East Riding of Yorkshire was published in the 1647 Dutch edition of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Novus.
These maps are of exceptional quality on clean, strong paper, a heavy impression and some of the best original hand colouring I have seen to date.

Blaeu is one of the most revered map makers of all time and it is easy to see why in this beautiful original map. The high level of the topographical detail, the  quality of the paper, the artistic professionalism of the engraving and the beauty of the original hand colouring combine to produce a work of art that is both functional and of exceptional beauty. (Ref: Koeman; M&B)
