[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9433072, member: 2844"]I don't know if they are original, they look like reprints/facsimile. The originals are all by Frederik de Wit (1630-1706), an excellent Dutch engraver and printer. As Debora said, parts of Spain and Italy. Facsimile are also worth something, but not as much as originals. Values of antique maps have gone down. Quality-wise de Wit is considered just below Blaauw, another Dutch cartographer-engraver, whose works are very sought after by cartography collectors.[/QUOTE]
