Netherlands - The Hague; Reinier Boitet - Haga-Comitis in Hollandia 1570 / Aenwysinge van ´s Hage, als die was anno 1570 - 1721-1750

Haga-Comitis in Holland in 1570 / Indication of The Hague, as it was in 1570 (1730).

Folio size and very beautifully engraved 18th-century city map of The Hague, as it must have been around 1570. This map of The Hague is a work based on an anonymous original of an earlier date, which is owned by the Municipality of The Hague. This version dates from 1730 and was created by Gerrit van der Giessen on behalf of Jacob de Riemer.

The plate is from: 'Description of The Hague,' by Mr. Jacob Riemer (1676-1762), published in Delft by Reinier Boitet, 1730.

The book contains many beautiful engravings of important buildings, churches, monasteries, estates, and castles of The Hague.

The plates are engraved by Gerrit van Giesen (1692-1750), Jan Caspar Phillips (1700-1765), and F. v. Bleyswyck. Published by Reinier Boitet (1680-1750).
