FAMOUS WALL MAP OF ROTTERDAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Etching with engraving, printed on 6 sheets, made by Johannes de Vou <\/strong>and Romeijn de Hooghe <\/strong>in 1694<\/strong>. Coloured by a later hand. Size (print): 120 x 140 cm. (Frame: 147 x 158 cm.)<\/p>\n

At the end of the 17th century Amsterdam<\/a>, The Hague<\/a>, Leiden<\/a>, Delft<\/a> and Haarlem<\/a> already had respectable wall maps and Rotterdam did not want to stay behind. Rotterdam therefore had a wall map made that was at least as spectacular and could certainly compete with the other cities..<\/p>\n

When making the map the city was measured, drawn and engraved by Johannes de Vou. Romeijn de Hooghe was responsible for the rich decoration. De Hooghe was a famous artist in his day and was awarded more than fl. 2.000 for his work, surveyor De Vou received less than fl. 100.<\/p>\n

When the map was finished the members of the town council were given a coloured and framed copy. Until\u00a0 1711 we can trace expenditures for colouring of copies of the map. Nothing can be found that the map was ever sold, even if this was the intention in 1690. Of the 600 copies printed, a large number still remained in 1711.<\/p>\n

The municipality had \u201catlases\u201d made in 1744 from the loose sheets of maps still available. Also these atlases were given to city council members and higher city officers. According to a decree of 1777, two atlases needed to remain at hand at all time, probably to be available for official gifts.<\/p>\n

The very large scale of the map, the \u2018bird\u2019s eye perspective\u2019 of the urban development inside and outside of the city, the depiction of all kinds of activity, in particular the shipyards, visualise the city as it was at the end of the 17th<\/sup> century and is unrivalled by any other document. Nothing else shows the organisation of the so-called Rotterdam \u2018lanes area\u2019 (a recreational area just outside the city boundaries) in such a precise way. Whenever the map is put next to other cartographic or topographic documents, one gets the impression of great reliability.<\/p>\n

The map shows us Rotterdam in its heyday of the Dutch Golden Age, the seventh city in the order of the States of Holland, but the second port of the Dutch Republic<\/a>. This status had to be reflected by the map. With success: of all the town plans published in the 17th century, the one of Rotterdam by Johannes de Vou and Romeijn de Hooghe<\/a> was the largest. Therewith satisfying the wish of every true Rotterdammer.<\/p>\n

Justly, the Rotterdam municipality sent a copy of the map to the Paris world exhibition still in 1867.<\/p>\n
