EDITORS COMMENTS
"This exquisite map print, created by Joachim Ottens in 1719, showcases the southern Netherlands, also known as the Austrian Netherlands, with remarkable detail and accuracy. The map includes the duchies of Brabant, Luxembourg, Limburg, and Gelderland, as well as the county of Flanders. An inset in the top right corner focuses on a part of the Duchy of Luxembourg, while the scale is provided in German, Spanish, and English-French miles at the bottom left. The map is richly decorated with heraldic elements, including the coat of arms of Emperor Charles VI, who ruled the Austrian Netherlands at the time, and a putto engaging in a fierce battle with a harpy. The harpy, a mythological creature with the body of a woman and the head and wings of a bird, represents the ancient mythological belief in the protection of the empire. The map is a stunning example of 18th-century cartography and the art of engraving. The vibrant colors and intricate details evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about the geography and history of the region. The map also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe, with its blend of Latin, Dutch, and French influences. The map was produced during a time of war and political turmoil in Europe, making the peaceful and meticulously detailed representation of the southern Netherlands all the more remarkable. This map is a valuable addition to any collection of European history, geography, or art, and a beautiful reminder of the intricacies and complexities of the past."

The map is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
