Handsome map of the region surrounding the city of Namur based on the once secret map of Jacques Surhon (1555). Boldly decorated with a title cartouche featuring a coat of arms and four putti, an unusual compass flanked by a surveyor, and a large scale of miles cartouche, uncolored as issued. Valk & Schenk purchased the Jansson publishing house plates in 1694 and continued publishing many of the best maps for many years.
