Plattegrond van Rotterdam c. 1657 - 1728

This anonymous engraving, "Plattegrond van Rotterdam" (c. 1657-1728), is a detailed bird's-eye view of the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. It depicts the city's layout with its canals, streets, and buildings, as well as the surrounding countryside. The map is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the urban planning and development of Rotterdam during the Dutch Golden Age. The inclusion of ships in the harbor further highlights the city's prominence as a major trading center. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this map, which measures 400 mm in height and 504 mm in width.
