Description
Nederlands: Voorschoten detail van kaart uit 1746 van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, deelgebied Wassenaar - Den Haag - Stompwijk - Zoeterwoude. Deze kaart is de derde uitgave van de overzichtskaart van 1647, vervaardigd door de landmeters Jan Janszoon (Johannes) Douw en Steven Pieterszoon van Brouckhuijsen. De tweede uitgave, herzien door Johan Douw, werd uitgegeven in 1687. Deze derde uitgave uit 1746 is ingrijpend herzien door landmeter Melchior Bolstra. De wijzigingen hebben vooral betrekking op het in kaart brengen van uitgestrekte veenplassen en reeds drooggemaakte veenplassen. Deze plassen zijn ontstaan vanaf 1530 toen men bij de turfwinning overging van delven op baggeren. Afkomstig uit de collectie kartografische documenten van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, collectienummer A-4493. Kopergravure : gekleurd; 45,5 x 55,5 cm, schaal ca. 1 : 28.000
English: Voorschoten detail of map from 1746 of the Water Board of Rhineland, area Wassenaar - The Hague - Stompwijk - Zoeterwoude (Province of North Holland, Netherlands). This map is the third edition of the map of 1647, made by the surveyors Jan Janszoon (Johannes) Douw and Steven Pieterszoon van Brouckhuijsen. A second edition, revised by Johan Douw, was published in 1687. This third edition from 1746 has been substantially revised by surveyor Melchior Bolstra. The changes concern mainly the identification of vast peat bogs and reclaimed peat lakes. These lakes were created from 1530 when people passed from peat mining to peat dredging, resulting in vast areas below sea level. This map comes from the cartographic collection of the Water Board of Rhineland ('Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland'), collection number A-4493.
