This large copper-engraved map details 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 forests, roads, canals, hundreds of tiny villages and several fortified towns, including Brussels and Antwerp. The very decorative cartouche displays cherubs, a soldier, and the Belgian arms.
