Info The Sitting Leo Belgicus map of the Seventeen Provinces of the Habsburg Netherlands (Low Countries). Published to celebrate the Twelve Years' Truce between 1609 and 1621 in the Eighty Years' War/Dutch Revolt which ended in 1648 with seven provinces in the north officially gaining independence from Habsburg Spain as the Dutch Republic. A great example of early modern Netherlandish cartography. This map is similar to the one featured on Johannes Vermeer's famous The Art of Painting. created by Claes Janszoon Visscher II - uploaded by StellarHalo - nominated by StellarHalo -- StellarHalo (talk) 08:42, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Comment Beautiful and in good condition, but I think some digital restoration to remove some foxing, water stains and other discolorations might be needed for FP. Let's see what other people think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)- Support I'd be happy to see restorations done, but this is already FP quality to me.
