AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Condition: good. Paper browned. Sufficient margins.

Manuscript vesting plan of Helsingborg, with a simple compass rose oriented to the north on the left. Signed in brown ink and subtly hand-coloured. Renau was a mathematician, military engineer and cartographer who worked on Blaeu's large atlas of city plans. The draughtsman made pinholes to indicate the ends of the straight segments in the drawings, which he then drew with a straight edge. The manuscript atlas from which this plan came dated to 1651, although the plans may have been made later based on sketches and surveys in 1651 after the Peace of Münster ended the Eighty Years' War in 1648.
