1701 Netherlands 1ed History Pais-Bas HUGE MAPS Illustrated Coins Ships Holland

An impressive and notably valuable history of the Netherlands! "Histoire des Provinces-Unies des Pais-Bas" was published in 1701 by an unknown author and is utterly filled with hundreds of engraved figures! The coins depicted in the full-page engravings illustrate battle scenes, famous military and political leaders, cities and forts, city views, ships, and so much more! While the contents of this history can be found in other similar histories of Holland, few, if any, have such exquisite engravings – not to mention the foldout maps! Each of these maps are often known to be extracted from this book and sold separately – it is a prime example of this work to find it with all of the expected engravings and maps! A true folio treasure!
