JAN BLAEU (1596-1673)
Britannia prout divisa fuit temporibus Anglo-Saxonum praesertim durante illorum Heptarchia. [Amsterdam: 1645]. Double-page engraved map with contemporary hand-colouring, French text on verso, 490 x 584mm.
FINE EXAMPLE of this map of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy. Prepared by Jan Blaeu for vol. IV of the Atlas Novus, it closely followed Speed's prototype map of 1611. The vignettes flanking two sides are identical in subject matter to those used by Speed, but the execution of each is in the style of 'an unmistakeable Dutch miniature'. Shirley Maps of the British Isles I, 549: 'When coloured in the best contemporary tradition, Blaeu's map is one of the finest available.'

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Unknown by Joan Blaeu was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012. It changed hands for a price of GBP 687.50 (€ 854.79) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 400.00 – 700.00. Admittedly, works by Joan Blaeu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work From: Atlas Maior (9). in December 2013 with an auction result of SEK 70,000.00 (€ 7,904.78).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Unknown von Joan Blaeu kam im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 687,50 (€ 854,79) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 700,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joan Blaeu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit From: Atlas Maior (9). im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von SEK 70.000,00 (€ 7.904,78).
