Description: 'Descriptio Agri Frisii antiqui aliorumque trans Rhenum ...' (Afteekeninge van Frieslands boodem bij ouds en van andere over den Rijn ...; English: The old lands of Friesland, the Netherlands.) This map is bordered bij two columns with historic and 18th c. names of towns. The decorative cartouche shows Frisian kings: Veritus and Malorix. This detailed original antique map originates from: 'Uitbeelding der Heerlijkheit Friesland ...', by B. Schotanus a Sterringa and published by F. Halma in 1718. This Atlas is considered the best atlas of Friesland, the Netherlands.
