This detailed map of Leiden, Netherlands, was created by Christiaan Hagen after 1675. Part of a larger work, it depicts the city from a bird’s eye view, showcasing its intricate network of canals and buildings. The map’s visual clarity and detailed depiction of the city's urban fabric make it a valuable resource for understanding the urban planning and architecture of 17th-century Leiden. This work is held in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with detailed cartography.
