Kaart van het graafschap Henegouwen 1691

This detailed map of the County of Hainaut from 1691, created by an anonymous artist, is a valuable historical document. The map depicts the intricate boundaries of the region, showcasing its divisions into smaller districts, towns, and villages. The inclusion of place names in French, along with the decorative elements of the coat of arms and the royal crown, suggests that this map was likely intended for an audience within or connected to the French court. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering insights into the cartographic techniques and political landscape of 17th-century Europe.
