Kaart van de Zijpe- en Hazepolder (deel rechtsboven) 1665 - 1760

This detailed map of the Zijpe- and Hazepolder, created between 1665 and 1760 by Dutch cartographer Reinier van Persijn, is a prime example of 17th-century mapmaking. The map depicts the layout of the land, with intricate details of the roads, fields, and buildings of the polder. The decorative cartouche with a bird design on the right side adds an artistic flourish, indicating the dedication of the map to the "Royal Camera" or financial administration. The map, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document for studying the development of the Dutch landscape.
