Kaart van het graafschap Namen 1689 - 1709

This detailed map of the County of Namur, created by Laurens Scherm between 1689 and 1709, showcases the meticulous cartographic techniques of the Dutch Golden Age. The map highlights the intricate network of rivers and towns that defined the region, with a decorative cartouche featuring a coat of arms and cherubic figures in the lower right corner. The map exemplifies the growing importance of precise geographic representation during this period, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. This meticulously crafted work is a testament to Scherm's skills, as he died young at the age of 31.
