This 19th-century map, created by an anonymous artist, depicts the city of Antwerp and its Citadel, with detailed street layouts and labeled landmarks. The map was likely printed in the Netherlands, as its title and key are in Dutch. The artist's meticulous detail, including a key with a numbered list of significant structures, illustrates the importance of Antwerp's urban and defensive infrastructure during the 19th century. The map’s historical significance lies in its representation of a key port city in the 19th century.
