Historic Map : Mercator Map of Holland (Netherlands), 1606, Vintage Wall Art Europe England Scotland and Ireland British Isles Wales Collins' Standard Map of London. 5248446 Because of their historical natureA rare and beautiful 1606 map of Holland ( Netherlands ) by Gerard Mercator. Amsterdam appears at the center and the map extends south as far as Harderwyck and west as far as Rhenen and Rotterdam. The Zuyder Zee, now a damned inland waterway, occupied the lower center of the map and a sea monster lying in wait for unwary ships one of which sails in at the top right of the map. Elaborate title cartouche top center.
