This detailed map of Flanders shows fortified cities, roads, forests and even the tiniest of villages. The map combines the work of two of the leading cartographers of the 18th century. Originally draw by Guillaume Delisle and published in France with the title, Carte du Comte de Flandre, this is an English edition published by John Senex. Senex produced books maps, globes, navigational instruments and worked in partnership with a number of other prominent cartographers.
