"Les Provinces-Unies Des Pays-Bas . . .", Robert de Vaugondy, Gilles

A finely detailed map that delineates the political divisions and provides great detail of the topography, towns, and canals. It is embellished by a large, decorative title cartouche festooned with a cornucopia, representing the bounty of the United Provinces, and a liberty pole and cap celebrating their liberation from Spain. It was published in 1757 as part of the first edition.
