A propos de cet article

Folding Map 21 x 26 inches, 550 x 680mm, in original hand colour to show the various Dutchies, Principalities, Counties, etc., Dissected and laid on linen, as issued. Preserved within the original marbled card slipcase with Faden's label. Detailed map of Belgium and Luxembourg, published by one of London's leadiing mapmakers, William Faden. A reduction of the survey of the Austrian Netherlands, as ordered by Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine (1712-1780), brother-in-law of Empress Maria Theresa and governor (and virtual monarch) of the country. The territory had been unstable since Emperor Joseph II had started a programme of reforms: in 1787 he abolished the Council of Brabant, leading to riots in Brussels. Civil unrest continued and in January 1789 (the month this map was published) Brabant and Hainault refused to pay imperial taxes. An army was gathered which managed to beat the Austrians in Battle of Turnhout in October, and the establishment of the independent 'United States of Belgium' was declared in January 1790. However the Austrians had regained control by the end of the year. The complicated political geography of the region is explained in the small print at the bottom of the map. The Spanish Netherlands whose Greatest Part is Possessed by the House of Austria, as the full colouring shows it Consists of Ten Provinces which are; 1. the Dutchy of Brabant, a portion of which belongs the Dutch; with the Austrian Brabant is incorporated. The Margrvaiate of the Holy Roman Empire including the City of Antwerp or Anvers and its Territory. 2. The Lordship of Mecheln or Malines to Austria. 3. The Dutchy of Gelders divided into Austrian, Dutch and Prussian or Upper elders. 4. The Dutchy of Limberg devided also into Austrian and Dutch. 5. The Dutchy of Luxemburg to Austria, but of which the French posses the whole Southern Frontier which they name Lorrine Allemande. 6. The County of Flanders divided into Austrian, French and Dutch Flanders. 7. The County of Namur or Namurois to Austria except a few Districts towards the South which belong to the French. 8. The County of Haynau divided between Austria and France. 9. The County of Artois to France. 10. The Cambresis to France.…
