Description
An original early 17th century copper engraved miniature antique map of the Roman remains in the sand dunes near Katwijk aan Zee in south Holland by Petrus Bertius.In Roman times, Katwijk was a place of strategic importance. It was located at the Roman Empire's northern border, at the mouth of the Rhine river, which in Roman times was larger in this area than it is today.
There was a good deal of traffic along the Rhine. Katwijk was also a jumping-off point for the voyage to Britain. The map is quite detailed and decorative. From the Bertius atlas Tabularum geographicarum contractarum.
Bertius (1565-1629) was a Flemish cartographer, theologian, historian and geographer. Although he published much in the fields of history, theology and mathematics, he is perhaps best known as a cartographer. His works were heavily influenced by the earlier works of Mercator, which date from the late sixteenth century. He was connected by marriage to Jacobus Hondius and Pieter van den Keere, both excellent cartographers, who would influence his later life. He was ‘Cosmographer’ to the court of King Louis XIII.
