This anonymous engraving depicts a map of the territory of Mechelen, Belgium, dating from between 1635 and 1735. The map is highly detailed, with a focus on rivers, roads, and various land features. The inscription at the bottom of the map, "Mechelinse Omstreken," clarifies the subject matter, indicating this is a cartographic representation of the surrounding areas of Mechelen. The small size of the print, measuring just 154 mm in height and 230 mm in width, highlights its intended use as a personal or study reference rather than a large-scale public display.
