This anonymous 17th-century engraving, "Plattegrond van Lier," is a detailed city plan of Lier, Belgium, created in 1660. The map is an excellent example of early cartographic art and displays the city's layout, including its streets, buildings, and fortifications. It includes a coat of arms in the upper-left corner and another coat of arms in the upper-right corner. The engraving is held in the Rijksmuseum and measures 140 mm high and 154 mm wide. This plan provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of Lier during this period and is a valuable resource for historical research and urban planning.
