About This Item
Amsterdam, c. 1740. Copper engraving, 52 x 58 cm, inset map of Texel and Vlieland in upper left corner, original hand colour, one or two marginal nicks and tears, blank verso. Our example of Caspar Spechts map has been annotated in a contemporary hand to record dyk breuken (dyk breaches) 1740-41 and the location of hulp gaaten (sluice gates), all in the southern portion of the map. There does indeed seem to have been severe flooding in the Nijmegen area in the winter of 1740-41. The Ottens firm was known for creating composte atlases, constructed to order according for particular clients; detailed local knowledge would be in keeping. Map
