"Flandriae Comitatus in Ejusdem Subjacentes Ditiones Accuratissime Divisus una cum Adjacentibus", Visscher, Nicolas

This map of the historical region of Flanders traces the coastline from Grevelingen to Zeeland at de Hont oste Westerschelde, south to below Douay, and east to Brussels. Beautifully engraved and highly detailed, the map shows political divisions, forests, roads, canals, hundreds of tiny villages, and several fortified towns including Brussels and Antwerp. A purely decorative cartouche appears at bottom left, featuring a Belgian lion coat-of-arms, a soldier, a river god, and a cornucopia. Engraved by Gilliam Gouwen.
