"Plattegrond van Duinkerke, 1693" is a detailed black and white map of the city of Dunkirk, France, created by an anonymous artist in 1693. The map features a stylized depiction of the city's layout and surrounding fortifications, along with compass points and text labels in French. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers valuable historical insights into the urban planning and defenses of Dunkirk during the 17th century. It is a fascinating example of early cartography and a testament to the artistic skill of the anonymous creator.
