Selandiae In Regno Daniae Insulae Chorographica Descriptio
|
Although the "Golden Age" of Dutch cartography appears to have been dominate d 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 164 0 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. This map shows the island of Seeland, on which Copenhagen lies, and the adjacent smaller islands of Laland, Falstria and so on.
