No place or publisher indicated, [ca. 1872-1882]. Broadsheet (40.3 x 33.3 cm). Printed in black, blue and red.
The map shows the Netherlands on a scale of 1:845,000, with towns, waterways, and rail network, also in adjacent parts of Belgium and Germany. Despite this unusual scale we have not found any record of this map on the internet. It uses the meridian of Amsterdam, which was in use before 1884, when it was replaced by Greenwich. It also shows the dam built in the Wadden Sea between the island Ameland and the mainland, which was built in 1871-1872, but quickly fell into disrepair. Maintenance was stopped after the winter of 1881-1882. Horizontal fold (probably as issued), otherwise excellent, clean, unmarked.
