The engineers who made this map remained loyal to the House of Orange and fled to Prussia in 1795 where they were given order for the mapping. The result was a manuscript map on a scale of approx. 1:60.000 from which this map was deducted. In the west, the map extends to the city of Groningen, as a result of which it also has significance for the historical cartography of the Netherlands, in particular through a detailed topography of the settlements. (Cf. Koeman, Geschiedenis, p. 185). In very fine condition, fully margined.€ 200
