Vedastus du Plouich's 1652 "Plattegrond van en gezicht op Diksmuide" is a detailed map of the city of Diksmuide in Belgium. The map features a bird's-eye view of the city, with its layout, fortifications, and surrounding landscape. The map's intricate detail shows the city's important landmarks like the church, the market square, and the town hall. The inclusion of the city's coat of arms at the top and bottom highlights its historical and political importance. Du Plouich’s work is an important example of 17th-century cartography and provides valuable historical insight into the urban planning and architecture of Diksmuide.
