Kaart van het dijkgraafschap Drechterland (eerste deel van boven) after 1723

This is a title page of the "Nieuwe Kaarte van het dijkgraafschap Drechterland" (New Map of the Polder District of Drechterland) by Hendrik de Leth, a Dutch draughtsman and engraver. It features two coats of arms: one for "de Heer van Nijewetering" (Lord of Nijewetering) and one for "Drechterland" (Drechterland). The scene below depicts a man with a net catching fish from a river with the "Dijkgraaf van Drechterland" (Dike Reeve of Drechterland) engraved on the stone monument. The artwork is a black and white engraving which displays an intricate and detailed style that was common in the 18th century.
