This detailed map of the Drechterland district, created by Dutch artist Hendrik de Leth in 1723, is a fine example of 18th-century cartography. The intricate lines and labels depict the landscape, with the surrounding waterways and fields clearly demarcated. De Leth's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of a scale bar, a compass, and decorative elements, including a figure of a woman representing the district, further emphasizing its significance. The map is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the Dutch landscape and its history.
