Hallandia Nova Et Accurata Descriptio
|
Although the "Golden Age" of Dutch cartography appears to have been dominated by the activities of the Blaeu family and of the Hondius/Jansson partnership, numerous other mapmakers, engravers and publishers continued to ply their trades successfully. Amongst these Hugo Allard's work, from about 1640 to around 1680, stands comparison with any other. Allard's output was relatively small with maps being published as loose separate issues, rather than atlas collections. However, his maps are well designed, finely engraved and rare. A very rare map, and one of the few devoted to Halland and north Schonen, held as Danish until 1645 when it was claimed by Sweden.
