Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici III, Wey 3/6 and 5/1 (editions 1824 and 1838); not in IKAR or in PiCarta. Extremely rare, we traced no other copies of our 1836 edition and no edition printed on cloth. The province of Holland was officially divided into North and South Holland only in 1840, the current map precedes this decision. The map (with cities such as The Hague, Rotterdam and Leiden) was first issued in 1818 (mentioned in the Nederlandsche Staatscourant of 9 February 1818) and later appeared in Weygands Atlas du Royaume des Pays-Bas in 1829 and 1840, with the maps respectively dated 1824 and 1838. Koeman called engravers Van Baarsel senior and junior "The most excellent map-engravers of the first decades of the 19th century in the Netherlands" (Koeman I, p. 51).
