This miniature map of the Netherlands is divided into provinces and depicts major towns and key topographical features. The map is adorned with a decorative title cartouche. This is the second state with the addition of new nomenclature. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.
