Description
Nederlands: Dit titelblad behoort tot de meest populaire atlassen uit de 17de eeuw. Een atlas waarin de Noordelijke en Zuidelijke Nederlanden als één aaneengesloten gebied werden gepresenteerd: de Germania Inferior. De 17 provincies worden hier voorgesteld door dames met de wapenschilden van hun gebieden. De hertogdommen Brabant, Gelderland, Limburg en Luxemburg zijn vooraan getekend. Daarachter staan de damens die de overige graafschappen en heerlijkheden symboliseren. De eerste druk van deze beroemde atlas werd in 1617 - tijdens het Twaalfjarig Bestand - uitgegeven door de graveur en uitgever Pieter van der Keere (1571-ca. 1646). Toen enige jaren de oorlog met de Spanjaarden weer in alle hevigheid losbarstte, maakte deze eerste nationale atlas overduidelijk wat nu eigenlijk de inzet van de strijd was: de samenbrenging van de 17 provincies in één nationale staat. Dit titelblad behoorde bij een editie van de atlas die Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702) na 1681 publiceerde.
English: This title page belongs to one of the most popular atlases from the 17th century: the atlas Germania Inferior. It represents the Northern and Southern Netherlands as one continuous territory. The 17 provinces are represented by women with coats of arms of the provinces. The duchys Brabant, Gelderland, Limburg and Luxembourg are drawn first. Behind them are women symbolising the other counties and seignories. The first print of this famous atlas was published in 1617 - during the Twelve Year Truce - by the Amsterdam engraver and publisher Pieter van der Keere (1571-c. 1646). When the battle with the Spanish was renewed some years later, this first national atlas explained the reason of the war: the joining of the 17 provinces into one national State. This title page belonged to an edition of the atlas published by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702) after 1681.
