Linnen band met stofomslag. 128 pagina's. Als nieuw. Uilenspiegel is ongeveer vijf eeuwen oud. Door de jaren heen hebben heel wat mensen zich met hem beziggehouden: schrijvers, componisten, illustratoren, drukkers, regisseur, lezers en vertellers. De Uilen spiegelverhalen bieden immers uitgelezen vertelstof voor jong en jong. Er werd om gelachen, gegrijnsd en geknarsetand. We kunnen het ons nu niet voorstellen, maar voorstellen, maar in de late middeleeuwen werd Uilenspiegel als opruidend en zelfs als gevaarlijk beschouwd, precies omwille van zijn spottende en kritische toon, zijn gevatheid en listig woordenspel. Uilenspiegel spreekt immers een natuurlijke, volkse taal en neemt geen blad voor de mond. Hij is behendig, sympatiek, brutaal, maar ook weerzinwekkend. Hij gaat vlot om met bisschoppen en pastoors, met koningen, hertogen en graven, met geleerden en kooplieden. Hij is knecht bij bakkers, smeden en kleermakers en hij treedt zelfs op als dokter, schilder en soldaat. Dat ook gewone mensen het mikpunt werden van zijn schelmenstreken, 777g.…

Single sheet (21 x 24 6/8 inches, full margins showing the plate mark). AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE ENGRAVED MAP OF THE WESTERSCHELDE ESTUARY, HAND-COLOURED BY THE MASTER COLOURIST, THE CELEBRATED DIRK JANSZ. VAN SANTEN, decorated with an exceptionally fine allegorical cartouche upper right, coloured in outline with cartouches, decorative borders, embellishments, and landmarks fully colored, in rich and exotic colour combinations, with added elements to clothing and to masonry, HEIGHTENED IN GUM ARABIC, GOLD, (central horizontal crease, with original mounting guard on verso). A magnificent map of the Westerschelde estuary to the west of Antwerp, showing Ghent to the south. The river Scheldt and particularly its estuary has been of considerable commercial and strategic importance throughout history. On its banks the city of Antwerp (not shown on this map) reached its zenith as the centre of European trade in the mid 16th-century, but after the armies of Philip II of Spain invaded Flanders in 1568, and eventually blockaded the Scheldt, Amsterdam became heir to the wealth of Antwerp.In World War II the estuary once again became a contested area. Despite allied control of Antwerp, in September 1944 German forces still occupied fortified positions throughout the Scheldt estuary west and north, preventing any allied shipping to the port. In the Battle of the Scheldt, the Canadian First Army successfully cleared the area, allowing supply convoys direct access to the port of Antwerp by November 1944. Van Santen applied transparent and opaque colours at the same time in both mixed and pure tints. He often painted the whole surface of the map or illustration, transforming the graphic light and dark contrasts into colour. To dark areas representing shadows, clothing pleats or the 'repoussoir', the foreground of a landscape, he applied his characteristic shiny varnish; this had the effect of brightening the colour. He devoted a great deal of attention to skies and horizons, frequently making use of the same colour progression." (Goedings).
