= Excellent map with a fine armorial title-cartouche by M.A. Stagnon after C.N. Cochin II, and a large vignette by C.-E. Patas after C.D.J. Eisen depicting the presentation of the map to emperor Joseph II. Sheet XXI presents a plan of Brussels: "Plan Topographique de la Ville de Bruxelles et de ses environs". The map was first produced in three coloured manuscript copies, each on 275 sheets, between 1771 and 1777 on the scale of 1:11.520. It was inspired by and based on the geometrical method used for the large Carte de France surveyed by C.F. Cassini thirty years earlier. The manuscript maps then led to the publication of an engraved reduction on the scale of 1:86.400 and named Carte Chorographique, or Carte Marchande since this edition was meant for sale.

= Very rare wallmap. Van der Heijden/ Blonk 87, 5th state (after 1790) (i.a. w. the erasure of the words "Du roy" on the 1st sheet ). The map was first published by George-Louis Le Rouge at Paris in 1748 (cf. D. de Vries, Een Franse wandkaart van Nederland uit 1748, Caert-Thresoor 1 (1982), p.24-29, not recording this issue). The province of Zeeland falls almost entirely outside the borders of the present map, which explains the exclusion of the map in Van der Heijden, Oude kaarten der Nederlanden. Also in 1748, Le Rouge published a separate map of Zeeland in 9 sheets. "Le Rouge zelf heeft reeds aangeduid in hoeverre zijn werkstuk een plaats verdient in de geschiedenis van de kartografie van Nederland, namelijk als poging om de gehele Republiek weer te geven op een schaal die tot dan toe niet was toegepast. In zoverre was ze uniek en zou dat nog vrij lang blijven. Het achttiende-eeuwse particularisme in onze gewesten zal weinig belangstelling hebben kunnen opbrengen voor dit stukje kartografie dat de gehele Republiek betrof. De buitenlandse militaire kartograaf zag daarentegen de noodzaak ervan in om dit land als eenheid op een grote schaal in kaart te brengen." (De Vries p.28). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXVI.

= The first detailed map of Aruba, "gevolgd naar de opmeting in den jare 1820 gedaan, onder directie van den Kapitein ter Zee W.A. van Spengler en in den jare 1825 met verscheidene nieuwe bepalingen verrykt door den Kapitein R.F. van Raders". In 1773 a large map on seventeen sheets was made, which showed only the island's coastline. The present map was made after the Netherlands regained possession of 'Curaçao en Onderhorigheden' in 1816. Up-to-date reports and maps of Curaçao and Bonaire were soon made, but a survey of Aruba had to wait until 1820, when Captain Van Spengler, port warden of Curaçao from 1816 onwards, offered to perform this task. A copy of his manuscript map eventually found its way to the 'Departement van oorlog of Koloniën' in The Hague. In 1824, news arrived in The Hague that gold was found on Aruba. Immediately, Captain R.F. van Raders was sent to the island to investigate. During his three visits to Aruba in 1824 and 1825, Van Raders carried Van Spengler's map or a copy of it, and added new information to it concerning the gold mining. In 1825, this manuscript map was made in print. For extensive information on the mapping of Aruba in this period, see Caert Thresoar 2009-3, p.65-70. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXVI.
