About this sheet
This is an antique 1753 map titled Nieuwe Kaart van’t Koninkryk Hongaryen en Zevenbergen, created by the notable Dutch cartographer and publisher Isaak Tirion. The map showcases the Kingdom of Hungary and the region of Transylvania (referred to as "Zevenbergen") as they appeared in the mid-18th century. Tirion’s maps are well-known for their clarity, precision, and attention to geographic detail, making them highly sought after by collectors of antique maps.
This map provides a detailed view of Hungary and Transylvania, including borders, towns, cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. It was created using the latest discoveries and updates of the time and reflects the political landscape of the region, which was part of the Habsburg Empire during a period of territorial changes and consolidations. The map’s borders are highlighted with color to distinguish different regions, and significant cities such as Buda, Pest, and Debrecen are clearly labeled.
Isaak Tirion was one of the most prominent Dutch publishers of the 18th century, particularly known for his Nieuwe en Beknopte Hand-Atlas (New and Concise Hand Atlas) series, which included a wide range of maps of Europe and beyond. His works were appreciated for their cartographic accuracy and artistic quality.
This map is a valuable piece for collectors interested in 18th-century European maps, particularly those that highlight Central Europe, Hungary, Transylvania, and the Habsburg Empire. It is a fine example of the craftsmanship of Isaak Tirion and offers insight into the historical geography of the region.
