The intricate details on this horizontal map transport us back in time to explore the historical landscape of Leiden. Every street, canal, and building is intricately etched onto the paper, allowing us to visualize how this vibrant city looked centuries ago. The precision with which Braun and Hogenberg captured every element demonstrates their mastery in cartographic artistry.
