"Kaart van Vlaanderen en Holland" is a detailed map of the Netherlands and Flanders created by Charles Inselin in 1709. The map depicts the coastline, rivers, and cities of the region, with the names of each location carefully labeled. Its ornate title cartouche, with a coat of arms and decorative flourishes, highlights the importance of this map in its time. Inselin's map provides an invaluable glimpse into the cartographic practices of the early 18th century and the political landscape of the Netherlands and Flanders.
