This handsome map of central Belgium is centered just between Brussel and Leuven, extending north to Lier (just shy of Antwerp), south to Gembloux, west to Dendermonde, and east to St. Truiden. The map is fully engraved with roads, political boundaries, forested areas, and key cities depicted with miniature bird's-eye plans. The distance scale includes a dedication to Giovanni Cupilli.
