A VIEW ON GRONINGEN
A VIEW ON GRONINGEN.
For centuries the province Groningen is planned out in detail. Sometimes as a province alone, quite often as part of a larger area with among others Friesland, Drenthe and Ost-Friesland.
Especially from the prime time of the Dutch cartography, the 17th century nice maps of Groningen are present. In the 18th century there was still a remarkable large production of maps, but the quality was sometimes lower. But also from this period interesting province maps are saved.
These maps are interesting because of their topographic data, but also because of their attractive decorations and ornaments. Sometimes they are real works of art that already in their period of creation were bought by collectors. The colouring of the printed maps was a special trade: a “afzetter” (map-colourer) who understood his business, could make a map substantial more valuable.
In this exhibition 30 decorative maps of the province Groningen can be seen. Also some old street maps of the city Groningen are added.
All maps were collected by Jan Menze van Diepen (1905-1994), who brought together an unique collection from this area.
