Summary
| Description |
English: Finely engraved map of Rotterdam, published by Frederick De Wit in Amsterdam.The map appeared in his town book of the Low Countries. De Wit's map of Rotterdam is very similar to the map from Joan Blaeu's Town Book from 1649. After the fire that destroyed Blaeu in 1672, Frederick de Wit had part of the copper plates from Blaeu's estate and issued it under its own name. Blaeu had his plan of the city made with the cityscape of around 1645 and gives the topography in detail and also reliably basically. De Wit supplements the map image with the ports and yards along the Maas and extends the legend. In the second half of the 17th century, Rotterdam was at the height of its prime.
Nederlands: Fijn gegraveerde kaart van Rotterdam, uitgegeven door Frederick De Wit te Amsterdam. De kaart verscheen in zijn stadsboek van de Lage Landen. De Wits kaart van Rotterdam lijkt sterk op de kaart uit het Stadsboek van Joan Blaeu uit 1649. Na de brand die Blaeu in 1672 verwoestte, had Frederik de Wit een deel van de koperplaten uit Blaeu's nalatenschap en gaf die uit onder zijn eigen naam. Blaeu liet zijn plattegrond van de stad maken met het stadsbeeld van rond 1645 en geeft de topografie gedetailleerd en ook betrouwbaar in grote lijnen weer. De Wit vult het kaartbeeld aan met de havens en werven langs de Maas en breidt de legenda uit. In de tweede helft van de 17e eeuw was Rotterdam op het hoogtepunt van haar bloei. |
