This detailed engraved map, titled "LEODIENSIS Episcopatus. Accuratissima Tabula..." (Bishopric of Liège. Most accurate map...), was created and published by Nicolaes Visscher. Appearing in Visscher's atlases around 1680, the map provides a highly intricate depiction of the historical Bishopric of Liège, covering parts of modern-day Belgium and surrounding areas. It meticulously illustrates a dense network of towns, villages, rivers, and topographical features, reflecting the advanced cartographic knowledge and refined engraving typical of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography.
Nicolaes Visscher (1649–1702), also known as Nicolaes Visscher II, was a prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher, continuing the highly successful Visscher family map-making enterprise founded by his grandfather Claes Janszoon Visscher and father Nicolaes Visscher I. The Visscher firm was renowned for its decorative and accurate atlases, which were among the most widely used and aesthetically appealing maps of the 17th century, contributing significantly to geographical knowledge across Europe.
