A densely detailed map of most of central and western Netherlands, filled with hundreds of roads, towns, and rivers. The inset above the decorative cartouche continues the map along the coastline of the North Sea, including Texel and Vlieland. An alternate Latin title appears above the map: Hollandiae Comitatus una cum Ultrajectino Dominio nec non Maximum Partibus Geldriae Ducatus. A remarkable and rarely seen issue.
