Description

Planche figurant la ville de Laon en Picardie, publiée dans la "Topographia Galliae"de Merian. De 1655 à 1661, Gaspard Merian édite en allemand et en caractères gothiques, les 13 parties de la Topographia Galliae (Topographie de la France), ouvrage qui illustre la France du XVIIe siècle. Le texte est du géographe allemand Martin Zeiller. Gaspard Merian s’est également inspiré de gravures déjà publiées de Nicolas Tassin.
"Gaspard (ou Kaspar) Merian était à la fois le fils et l’élève du graveur Matthias Merian. À la mort de son père en 1650, il prit sa suite à la tête de sa maison d’édition à Francfort sur le Main. Ce faisant Gaspard Merian héritait également de la Topographia Germaniae, atlas topographique des provinces de langue allemande, gravé par son père pour les planches et dont les textes étaient dus à Martin Zeiller. Les premiers volumes étaient parus en 1642. Gaspard allait poursuivre cette publication et l’enrichir progressivement de la topographie de la France, de l’Italie, des Pays-Bas, de la Suisse."
A panoramic view of the ancien romanesque town of Laon in Picardie. Very well engraved with excellent detail.
The city contains many medieval buildings. The most important of these is the cathedral Notre-Dame of Laon, dating mostly from the 12th and 13th centuries. The chapter-house and the cloister contain beautiful specimens of the architecture of the beginning of the 13th century. The church of St Martin dates from the middle of the 12th century.
From Merian's Topographia Galliae. . . .

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.

At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14)

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.
There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build.
