EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite map print, created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Nicolaes Visscher around 1695, showcases a detailed and captivating representation of North Flanders, an area that is now part of modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands. The map, which is beautifully colored and painted in watercolor, offers a glimpse into the intricacies of mapmaking during the 17th century. At the top right corner of the map, the scale is depicted in both German and French miles, reflecting the international reach and importance of cartographic knowledge during this period. The map's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of various towns, rivers, and topographical features, many of which are labeled in both Latin and Dutch. The map also highlights the region of Zeeland, which was an important part of the Dutch Republic at the time. The Zeelandic Flanders, located in the southwestern part of the map, is particularly noteworthy. This area was a vital economic and strategic region, and its accurate representation on the map underscores the significance of cartography in facilitating trade and diplomacy. This map is a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the 17th century, a time when the Dutch Republic was at the forefront of cartographic innovation. The map is currently housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
