Crisply engraved copper plate map filled with remarkable detail that is centered on Gent. The resolution is great enough to show the major streets in Bruxelles, as well in numerous other cities. The chart extends north to show a portion of Rotterdam, west to include Dunkirk, south to below Lille and east well beyond Bruxelles. Filled with scores of small villages, roads, forests and more. An uncommon map by Lieutenant Hahn, published by F. Nicolai.
