Kaart van het Ahrtal met twintig gezichten op de omgeving 1840

This 1840 engraving by Jean Nicolas Ponsart depicts a detailed map of the Ahr Valley in Germany. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases twenty scenic views of the area, presented in a series of smaller vignettes lining the sides of the map. The central map, intricately drawn in pen and ink, highlights the winding Ahr River and its surrounding landscape, offering a comprehensive visual overview of the region. This work serves as both a cartographic record and a celebration of the picturesque beauty of the Ahr Valley.
