.. Antique Map of Overijssel by Van der Keere (1617)

Description: Antique print, titled: 'Ditio Transisulana.' - A map of Overijssel, including the provinces Drenthe, the southern parts of Friesland and Groningen, and the regions Twente and Salland. Cities included in this area are Zwolle, Kampen, Deventer, Zutphen and Oldenzaal. This original antique map originates from Van der Keere's atlas 'Germania Inferior ...', published in 1617. A later ed. was published by Visscher. This Atlas is considered the most beautiful of the Low Countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg). The maps by van der Keere stand out in their design and execution.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Pieter van der Keere' after an anonymous artist. Pieter van der Keere (also: Peter Kaerius, 1571-c.1646) was a Dutch engraver, publisher and globe maker. He was born in Ghent, but repatriated to London for religious reasons. In London he was trained by Jodocus Hondius, with whom he left for Amsterdam in 1593.
