Sum m ary
The wall maps of the Netherlands of the 16th and 17th
centuries are a neglected chapter in the history of
cartography. As a result of a recent research in
Dutch and other European map collections we are now
able to get a better knowledge about this subject.
Nineteen different Dutch wall maps of the 17 Provinces
were recognised and described. These wall maps can
be divided into two categories. To the first category
belong the wall maps which have apart from a
characteristic decorative outlook also a geographically
justified map content, based on the latest geographica!
information (nos. 1-7, 8a). These wall maps were
especially published around the turn of the 17th Century.
But also the wall map by Frederik de Wit (10a) and the
amended edition by Pieter van de Aa (10b) should be
added to this category, because they give in fact the
most recent and detailed survey. The second category
include those wall maps where publishers bought old
copperplates, which were re-published after some
corrections. In these corrections the decorative
element plays the most important role and not the
content of the map (3b, 8b, c, d, 9a, b). The num-
bers IIa, b and 12 form a transition between the
two categories.
