Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland (vierentwintigste deel) 1712 - 1735

This detailed map, created by Luggert van Anse between 1712 and 1735, depicts a section of the Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland, a water board responsible for managing water levels in the Netherlands. This intricate cartographic work uses a grid system to illustrate the land divisions and features like canals and lakes, such as the "Oost Meer" shown in the upper-right corner. The map's bottom border features a scale and a decorative illustration of farmers working the land, highlighting the area's agricultural importance. This piece is a valuable historical document for understanding the landscape and management of this region in the early 18th century.
