About This Item
1723 History of Netherlands 1ed Holland Voyages MAP Dutch MEDALS COINS Utrecht
Jean Le Clerc's "History of the Netherlands" is considered one of the best 18th-century sources on the political and militaristic history of the numerous states of Holland. Le Clerc describes a year-by-year chronology of major events in the Netherlands, complete with impressive folding maps and engravings. Much to be desired, Clerc utilizes a world map that depicts California as a large island off the west coast of the North America.
This set also features a first edition printing of Le Clerc's 'Historical Explanation of the Medals of the Netherlands'. First published in 1723, this work is a detailed account of the origins of the Dutch republic with descriptions of major events and figures from throughout the 16th-century until the Treaty of Utrecht and the end of the Spanish Succession... And while the contents are accurate and thorough, the main draw of this work is the inclusion of over 100 engravings of coins, medals, and medallions that depict portraits, battle scenes, maps, monuments, and iconic landmarks.
