About the Item
Antique Map of Belgium and The Netherlands, 1903, with Delicate Pastel Coloration
This antique map, titled "Belgium and The Netherlands," was engraved and published in 1903 by the distinguished cartographic firm W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It presents a beautifully detailed and colored depiction of Belgium and The Netherlands, highlighting the intricate political and geographical landscape of these two countries during the early 20th century.
The map is delicately hand-colored in soft pastel shades—green, pink, yellow, and blue—to delineate the boundaries of provinces and major cities. The clear typography and precise engraving bring out the detail of rivers, railways, and cities, offering an authentic look at the region’s infrastructure and connections at a time of dynamic industrial and social change.
This map covers the entire region, including the Dutch coastlines, the inland waterways, and the densely populated heartlands of Belgium. It offers insight into a time when both countries were undergoing significant economic growth, shaped by their rich trade histories and their strategic positions at the crossroads of Europe.
For collectors and lovers of European history, this map is more than a decorative piece. It captures the historical geography of an era that saw Belgium and The Netherlands play key roles in international trade and cultural exchange. It also reflects the exceptional quality of Johnston’s cartographic artistry.

Title: 'Carte Routière du Royaume des Pays-Bas comprenant la Hollande et la Belgique'
**Publisher**: Eustache Hérisson
**Publication Year**: 1829
This original antique map is a detailed depiction of the Netherlands and Belgium, dating back to 1829. As a 'Carte Routière', it focuses on the road networks of the region, providing valuable historical insights into the transportation and geographical understanding of the early 19th century. The map's delineation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, including both Holland and Belgium, is particularly noteworthy as it represents the political geography of the period shortly before Belgium's independence in 1830.
