About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Ducatus Bremae et Ferdae (..)'. Original antique map of the region of Bremen and Verden, Germany. Published by N. Visscher, circa 1690.

The Visscher family were art and map dealers in Amsterdam during the 17th century. Funded by C. J. Visscher (1587-1652), the business was continued by his son and grandson both named Nicolas. Nicolas Visscher I was born 1618 in Wenns, Austria. He died 1679 in Linz. After the death of Nicolas II, his widow passed the business to Pieter Schenk.
