1. Title: Map of Ukraine, 1660 by Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan This exquisite map, titled "Nouvelle et Precise Carte de l'Ukraine," is a remarkable testament to the cartographic achievements of the 17th century. Created by the renowned French cartographer Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan in 1660, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge of Eastern Europe during that era. The map is a copper engraving, a technique that allowed for intricate detail and precise lines. Le Vasseur de Beauplan, born around 1600, was a prolific cartographer who produced numerous maps and charts throughout his career. His works were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. This map of Ukraine, from the private collection, showcases the complex political landscape of the region during the late 17th century. The territories of various principalities, including the Cossack Hetmanate and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, are depicted with great detail. The map also includes annotations in Latin and Old Polish, providing valuable historical context. The map's intricate detail and artistic merit are evident in the depiction of rivers, mountains, and cities. The use of cartouches, or decorative frames, adds to the map's visual appeal. The cartouche at the top left features a view of a fortified city, while the one at the bottom right includes a scene of a Cossack warrior on horseback. This map is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of cartography, Eastern Europe, or the works of Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan. It offers a unique perspective on the geographical knowledge of the region during the 17th century and serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate mapping in shaping our understanding of the world.
