A gorgeous map of Belgium and Holland, originally published in 1858 by probably the most sought after mapmaker of the mid-19th century, John Arrowsmith.
This detailed map shows Holland and Belgium's roads and how they intertwine with each other. You can also see the completed train lines, from Mons, through Braine and Brussels, or Amsterdam to Rotterdam. If you look closely, you can even see the train line that runs from Belgium to Germany, stretching from Cologne to Ghent and Holland and Germany, from Amsterdam to Arnhem.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x36in (61x91.5cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 100in (254cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
