About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Flandriae comitatus pars Australis'. Decorative antique map of the southern portion of Flanders, France. It shows the cities of Lille (Rijsel), Douai, Tournai (Doornik) and others.

Artists and Engravers: Published by P. Schenk after N. Visscher. Pieter Schenk / Petrus Schenck ( 1660-1718/19) was born in Germany, but settled in Amsterdam where he first became a pupil of Gerard Valck, the engraver. In 1687 he married Valck's sister and thereafter the Schenk and Valck families were active over a long period with a wide range of interests as print sellers, publishers of books, maps, topographical and architectural drawings and globes. Although they produced some original maps, most of their atlases consisted of printings from revised and re-worked plates originally by Jansson, the Visschers, the Sansons and others.
