This large, two-sheet map focuses on the Low Countries, extending from Paris to Strasbourg in the south, and as far north as Rotterdam and Munster. The map is fully engraved with hundreds of cities and villages, roads, political boundaries, rivers, mountains, and forested areas. Each sheet includes a separate title cartouche and publisher's imprint. Printed on two sheets, joined. Engraved by H. van Loon. A very rare map, particularly with both sheets found together.
