1882 Map of Belgium and The Netherlands Highlighting Geographical Details

About the Item

This 1882 map of Belgium and The Netherlands, published by Blackie and Son as part of the 'Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World,' offers a detailed representation of the two neighboring countries. It highlights their political boundaries, major cities, towns, and transportation networks, reflecting the infrastructure of the time. The map provides a clear view of key cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, and Antwerp, showcasing their roles as significant urban centers. Topographical features, including rivers such as the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt, are prominently displayed, emphasizing the importance of waterways in the region's economy and transport. The map also captures the flat landscapes of The Netherlands, including the Zuiderzee (now largely reclaimed as the IJsselmeer) and the intricate network of canals. In Belgium, the rolling hills and urban density of Flanders and Wallonia are well-depicted. Subtle pastel shading is used to differentiate regions, adding a visual charm to the cartography. Condition report: The map is in good condition with light toning and occasional spotting consistent with its age. The engraving remains sharp, and the colors are vibrant. There are no visible tears or repairs, and the margins are intact. Framing tips: Use a classic wooden frame in walnut or dark oak to complement the map’s vintage character. A double mat with a cream or off-white inner mat and a soft green or light beige outer mat enhances the delicate pastel tones. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading and preserve the map for long-term display.
