Description
Nederlands: Deze fraaie kaart toont de stad Antwerpen en het markgraafschap en tevens de belangrijkste gebouwen. De kaart werd in 1624 gegraveerd en uitgegeven door Claes Jansz. Visscher (1587-1652) in Amsterdam. Hoewel de afbeelding van de voornaamste kerken en stadspoorten aan de kaart een toeristisch karakter suggereert, werd de kaart waarschijnlijk gepubliceerd naar aanleiding van de vergeefse belegeringen van de stad aan de Schelde in 1620 en 1624 door Prins Maurits. In zijn toelichting op het inzetkaartje waarin de loop van de Schelde wordt afgebeeld, vestigt Visscher vooral de nadruk op de militaire versterkingen en de cruciale dijken rondom de stad. De Schelde vormde bij belegeringen van de stad een cruciale schakel.; Op de kaart een stadsgezicht en een aantal inzetten met de belangrijkste gebouwen.
English: This particularly beautifully decorated map shows the city of Antwerp and surroundings and the most important buildings. The map was engraved and published by Claes Jansz. Visscher (1587-1652) in Amsterdam in 1624. Although the pictures of the churches and important monumental buildings suggest a touristic character, the map was probable published after some sieges of the city by Prince Maurits at the river Schelde in 1620 en 1624. Text in the inset with the course of the river Schelde emphasizes the military fortifications and the crucial role of the dikes around the city. The river Schelde appeared to be a strategic point when the city was besieged.
