This anonymous hand-colored engraving, "Kaart van het gebied rond Ambleteuse," depicts a detailed map of the area surrounding the French coastal town of Ambleteuse. Created sometime between 1690 and 1702, it is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The map is marked with delicate lines, representing geographical features like waterways and the surrounding landscape. Notably, two putti holding a scroll are positioned over a waterway in the upper left corner, likely representing the cartographer's signature. The inscription on the scroll further emphasizes the artistry and historical significance of the work.
