Maps of Delft and some Inspiration

One of the great expressions of Delft's civic pride was the publication (first volume 1667) of Dirck van Bleyswyck's Beschryvinge der Stadt Delft, "The Description of Delft," an invaluable 900 page history of the city and one of the most ambitious 17th c. projects of its kind. Van Bleyswijck (1639-1681) was born into a prominent family and was sheriff, orphan master and burgomaster as well. He is known to have traveled extensively throughout the 17 Provinces.
