Kaart van Vlaanderen 1700 - 1735

This anonymous map, "Kaart van Vlaanderen," created between 1700 and 1735, provides a detailed view of the region of Flanders. The map uses a grid system and distinct color-coding to delineate the boundaries of various cities and regions. The visual style incorporates decorative flourishes, particularly around the inset maps highlighting key cities such as Ghent, Bruges, and Ypres, characteristic of cartographic practices in the early 18th century. This work exemplifies the growing focus on accurate and detailed cartography during this period, offering a fascinating glimpse into the geography and political landscape of Flanders during this era.
