Antique Map of Noord-Brabant – Sleeswijk Atlas, 1914
Description:
This antique map of Noord-Brabant was published in 1914 in the Sleeswijk Atlas, a prominent Dutch school atlas that documented the geography of the Netherlands for classroom use in the early 20th century. It presents Noord-Brabant, the southern province bordering Belgium, known for its fertile lands, growing towns, and strong historical ties to Antwerp and the southern Low Countries.
The map spans from the western border near Bergen op Zoom and Breda across to ’s-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven, and further east toward the Peel region. In the south, it shows the Belgian frontier with Antwerp, where the dense network of railways and roads emphasizes the close cross-border connections. Major towns such as Breda, Tilburg, Eindhoven, and ’s-Hertogenbosch are prominently marked, as well as many smaller villages, reflecting the province’s rapidly developing infrastructure at the beginning of the 20th century.
The cartography highlights rivers, canals, and polders, as well as the expanding railway system indicated in red. The legend (“Verklaring”) provides detailed explanations of tramways, main and secondary roads, waterways, dikes, and boundaries. With its scale of 1:400,000, the map balances precision with clarity, making it both a useful educational tool and a historical artifact.
Published by A. Sleeswijk in Bussum and lithographed by J. Smulders & Co. in The Hague, the map combines practical geography with attractive coloring and clear typography. It reflects the importance of Noord-Brabant in Dutch history and its role as a bridge between the Netherlands and Belgium.
