"Kaart van Vlaanderen" is an anonymous engraving depicting a map of Flanders, a historical region spanning parts of modern-day Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. Created around 1732, this detailed map showcases the region's topography, including rivers, cities, and towns. The map's title, "Flanders on the Boundary between Holland and France," suggests the strategic importance of the region during this period. The inclusion of numerous red dots may indicate significant locations or points of interest. This work serves as a valuable historical document for studying the cartographic representation of Flanders in the 18th century.
