About the Item

Title: Detailed Plan of the City of Zutphen – Hendrik de Leth, ca. 1740 This hand-colored engraving, created by Hendrik de Leth and published around 1740, presents a detailed and precise plan of the fortified city of Zutphen in the Netherlands. The map showcases the city’s intricate star-shaped fortifications, a hallmark of 17th and 18th-century military architecture. The canals, bastions, and strategic defenses surrounding Zutphen reflect its importance as a fortified town along the IJssel River. The plan includes a numbered legend that identifies key locations and landmarks within the city, such as gates, buildings, and public spaces, providing a valuable historical record of Zutphen's urban and defensive layout during the early 18th century. This map is presented in excellent condition, with vibrant hand-coloring that enhances the details of the fortifications, waterways, and urban structures. It is elegantly mounted on a cream matting board with a dark inner border, ensuring both protection and a refined display. Hendrik de Leth was a renowned Dutch cartographer and engraver, known for his meticulous city plans and landscapes. His works are celebrated for their accuracy and artistic quality, making this map a fascinating example of his craftsmanship. This piece is not only an important historical artifact for those interested in Dutch history and cartography but also a striking decorative addition for collectors of antique maps and city plans.
