detail oude kaart uit 1606 met Nieuwstadt

Detail van "Leodiensis Dioecesis Typus" - kaart uit de 'Atlas Minor' van ca. 1606 van Mercator/Hondius.
Noord is links, Oost is boven.
In het midden is Nieuwstadt te zien (Nieustat).
Deze kaart ging op een internetveiling net aan mijn neus voorbij.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Interesting. In order see it, you must rotate -120 degrees or so. Their orientation of the world was quite different. I saw "Aken" and then had to hunt for Maastricht. You live in a beautiful area. I remember seeing your countryside by train and bus. The Alps of the Nederland for sure!
