Description
On the background of Anna Westerstee is not much known, apart from the fact that her parents were married on 10 January 1652 in The Hague. After her marriage to Barent Beek, Anna became active as a publisher.
The couple published engraved topographical maps, plans and views of The Hague and they also colored prints. Anna signed her prints "Anna van Beek excudit" (issued by Anna van Beek).
Anna Beek is mentioned in various reference books as an engraver. Published prints are held in the collection "Atlas van Stolk" and the Municipal Archive of The Hague, the engraver of these prints is usually Jan van Vianen.
The Library of Congress holds a volume with a collection of Plans of Fortifications and Battles, 1709 and is known as the "Anna Beek Collection", because many are published by Anna Beek and most likely she colored these prints.
Provenance: Anna Beek was commissioned by King Willem III of Orange, between 1690 and 1700 and produced for him a collection of 10 volumes of plates. The 10 volumes are bound in richly gilded bindings and have all the Dutch Royal coat-of-arms of arms.
The volumes with Dutch views eventually were acquired by the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam from the Amsterdam antiquarian map and book dealer Nico Israel. The other volumes were sold to German, French and Spanish dealers.
In 1677 he married his cousin Mary, eldest daughter of James, Duke of York, the future James II. The marriage was intended to repair relations between England and The Netherlands following the Anglo-Dutch wars.
William III was a well-known collector of paintings. The collection of Stadholder-King William III went under the hammer in Amsterdam on 26 July 1713. Organized by the renowned art collector and agent Jan van Beuningen with the assistance of Jan Pietersz. Zomer, the foremost Amsterdam art broker, the auction was a virtual society event attended by a host of Dutch regents, agents and diplomats as well as European noblemen and princes.

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.
