Description
Two rare manuscript maps being one general map of the spice islands and a detailed map of the South Western Channel in front of the town Ternate with the island "Noorwegen".
The maps are very detailed and drawn in dark brown pen and ink and the names and remarks are in Dutch.
The maps much have changed possession around 1810 when the island changed possession to Great Britain during the Napoleonic wars.
Depths shown by soundings.
On laid paper with watermark "Van Gelder" and a second watermark with a crowned lion holding a scimitar, encircled by the words CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT.
Ternate is a volcanic island in Maluku (also known as "the Moluccas") and is the seat of the Sultanate of Ternate. The island was once the world's single major producer of cloves which allowed the Sultanate of Ternate to become one of the most powerful Sultanates in the Malay archipelago.
In 1599 two Dutch ships led by Commander Wybrand van Warwijck arrived in Ternate. In 1605 the VOC succeeded in driving the Portuguese out of Ternate but in 1606 the Spanish troops captured the former Portuguese fort and deported the Sultan and his entourage to Manila. In 1607, the VOC admiral Cornelis Matelief de Jonge helped the Sultan of Ternate to expel the Spanish from Ternate, so the Sultan gave permission for the VOC for the spice trade monopoly and allowed the VOC to establish a fort. When the VOC went bankrupt, the possessions of VOC were transferred under the administration of the government of Maluku in 1800.
Most of the possessions of the former VOC were subsequently occupied by Great Britain during the Napoleonic wars and Fort Oranje was captured in 1810.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
