EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century map print, titled 'Map of Brabant, 1635. Prima pars Brabantiae cuius caput Lovanivm' (First Part of Brabant, whose head is Louvain), is an exquisite example of early modern cartography. Created by renowned Flemish cartographer Michael van Langren, this intricately detailed map showcases the region of Brabant, which encompasses present-day Belgium and parts of the Netherlands. The map is adorned with a coat of arms at the top right, representing the Duchy of Brabant, and a title in a decorative cartouche at the bottom right. The cartouche features King David, depicted as a harpist, symbolizing the harmony and unity of the region. The map is available in both German, Brabant, and Italian miles, reflecting the international influence of cartography during this period. The map is not only a testament to the artistic and cartographic skills of Michael van Langren but also a rich source of historical information. The map is hand-colored, adding an additional layer of visual appeal. The use of a laurel wreath and a crown further emphasizes the significance and importance of the region. The mapmaking process involved a great deal of precision and care, as evidenced by the pair of compasses and the man and woman holding an atlas in the image. The mapmaking process was a complex and time-consuming endeavor, requiring extensive knowledge of geography, mathematics, and art. This map is a valuable addition to any collection of historical maps, art, or European history. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the cartographic practices and artistic styles of the 17th century. The map is a testament to the rich heritage of cartography and the enduring appeal of maps as works of art.
