(Amsterdam), Isaak Tirion, 1746. Atlas folio (585 x 375 mm.). Half calf. 12 double-page engraved maps, each measuring c. 44.5 x 55 cm and c. 41.5 x 55 cm, 1 double-page engraved plate with title, 1 double-page engraved map (55 x 63 cm) of Haarlemmermeer, 1 double-page engraved plate of existing and projected sluices for drainage of the polder, both after drawings by M.

Third corrected state of this finely engraved wall map. In 1745 the waterboard of Rijnland ordered the surveyor Melchior Bolstra to correct the outdated map of Dou and Broeckhuysen of 1647. The results of Bolstra's new survey were engraved into the original plates by David Coster. A map of the Haarlemmermeer with dotted lines to indicate its increasing size from 1531 untill 1740 and a plate with technical drawings of sluices and waterlevels were added.

A very good copy of this beautiful map of the Rijnland district.-(Minor wormholes in margin, in one plate very slightly affecting plate image, one map slightly spotted in lower left corner).
Donkersloot-De Vrij 715.
