Extremely rare Verbiest map of Land van Waes
Oost-Vlaanderen - Land van Waes by Pieter Verbiest. 1656
Pieter Verbiest II (Petrus Verbist) and Isaak Verbiest (Isack Verbist)
Pieter Verbiest (Antwerpen, 1605-1693) was an Antwerp cartographer and engraver. Little is known about his life.
One of his most important works is the Novus Tabularum Geographicorum Belgicae (Antwerp, 1636), a pocket atlas of which two more editions were published later (1644 and 1652). Isaak Verbiest, probably a brother of Pieter, drew and engraved certain maps. Their collaboration also led to the production of two rare world maps.
Pieter Verbiest also published folio maps as separate publications. Koeman describes three editions of a Verbiest Atlas of the Netherlands, published between 1636 and 1652. Only one copy of each of these atlases is known.
Verbiest maps, some with beautiful decorative borders, city views, costumed figures, and coats of arms, were sometimes bound in composite atlases. Occasionally, copies of these scarce maps come onto the market.
Pieter Verbiest II was the son of Pieter Verbiest I (c. 1585-c. 1642), publisher and illuminator of maps in Antwerp.
