This copper plate, measuring 695 mm in height and 583 mm in width, was created by Dutch artist David Coster (1686-1752) between 1733 and 1734. The plate was intended to be used for printing a map of Westvoorne or Goedereede, two islands in the Netherlands. The intricate details of the map are visible on the surface of the plate, etched with precise lines and dots. This artwork provides insight into the cartographic practices of the 18th century and serves as a testament to Coster's skill as an engraver.
