Maps individually numbered by hand, out of sequence with "Plate Register." This work is lacking Plate 19: "Platte grond van's Gravenhage." Occasional toning to plates, a few with notable wear at hinges, a very good example of this scarce work. Very good. Hendrik de Leth (1703–1766) was a Dutch engraver, cartographer, and publisher known for his detailed maps and topographical works during the 18th century. He produced cityscapes, landscapes, and illustrations that captured the geography and architecture of the Netherlands and other regions. De Leth collaborated with prominent mapmakers and published atlases that gained recognition for their accuracy and artistic quality. His works, such as maps of Amsterdam and other Dutch cities, are valuable historical records, providing insights into urban development and geographic knowledge of his time.
