Isaac Basire’s “Plattegrond van Brugge” is a detailed, 18th-century map of Bruges, Belgium, which was a significant city in the region of Flanders. The map, created between 1751 and 1762, offers a precise, bird's-eye view of the city's layout, encompassing its streets, canals, buildings, and surrounding countryside. The intricate details and ornate borders are characteristic of cartography during this period.
