PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL

 This elegant map of ancient Friuli, engraved by Jan Jansson in the 17th century, is a precious example of Dutch cartography from the Baroque period. The map depicts the historic Friuli region in detail, including the coast of the Gulf of Trieste, fortified cities, rivers, and main transport routes. The representation is enriched by stylized sailing ships plying the Adriatic and a finely engraved decorative cartouche, typical of Jansson's work.

Jan Jansson (1588–1664), one of the greatest Dutch cartographers of the 17th century, was heir to the tradition inaugurated by Mercator and Hondius. He worked extensively in collaboration with Henricus Hondius, contributing to the publication of the famous Atlas Novus, which transformed European cartography with a series of maps of the highest technical and aesthetic quality. His works, rich in detail and artistically refined, were intended for a cultured and discerning audience.

This map of Friuli combines geographical accuracy and artistic charm, offering a visual record of the region at a key moment in its history. Perfect for collectors, scholars, and historical geography enthusiasts, it represents not only a cartographic document but also a work of art, engraved on copper and often enhanced with hand-coloring.
