Manufacturer : printmaker: Joost van Geel to own design: Joost van Geel Publisher: Jan Houwens (I) (listed building) Publisher: Jacob Quack (rejected attribution) printer: Jacob Quack (rejected attribution) supervision: Jacob Quack Place manufacture: Rotterdam Dating: after 1666 - 1698 Material: paper Technique: etching / engra (printing process) Measurements: plate edge: h 566 mm × W 438 mmToelichtingDeze print is originally intended to be part of the so-called Maas Map from 1666, under the title "urbs Rotterodamum Hollandiae celeberrima et situ portibusque mercaturae opportunissima. Ao. 1665. Although the year 1665 is in the title, appears in archival research that the map was completed until 1666 (see documentation). This card consists of (from top to bottom): - a title strip (printed from a single sheet); - a large cityscape of Rotterdam (printed on six sheets, see dome record for a virtual-mounted version); - a map of the Maas (printed from four plates) with left and right faces of city Maassluis, Delfshaven, Delft, Schiedam, The Brill and Vlaardingen (printed from three plates, on each plate two); - (optionally) a description of Rotterdam in letterpress (these are at least four different versions known). The card was originally issued by Jacob Quack. Jan Houwens (I) kept at least in 1698 another edition (dated in the description of Rotterdam, may he brought all the maps previously with another variant of the description). Insofar examine is the only change Houwens put in the plates' Jan Houwens excudit "on the ship right below the town of Rotterdam (bottom right of the object). The current picture is published by Houwens. Because it is also possible that Houwens for 1698 issued the Meuse map though, is not to determine if: the current one is issued exactly.
