Created by Johannes Leupenius in 1682, the work serves as a technical record of land management and water control during the Dutch Golden Age. The map delineates the boundaries of various polders, including the Middel Moolen Polder and the Moordsche Polder, while identifying local administrative divisions such as Nieuwerkerk and Hillegersbergh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual composition is defined by clean, precise lines typical of seventeenth-century Dutch cartography. The map focuses on the geometric division of land, reflecting the systematic approach to drainage and agricultural organisation that defined the region. A notable feature is the elaborate cartouche located in the lower right quadrant. This decorative element contains the scale and a formal inscription detailing the commission by the Hoogheemraden (water board) of the Krimpenerwaard. The cartouche is rendered with classical ornamentation, providing a visual contrast to the stark, functional lines of the surrounding topography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeupenius, a skilled draughtsman and etcher, captures the specific geography of the area between the Lek and IJssel rivers. The inclusion of water management infrastructure, such as mills and dykes, provides insight into the environmental challenges faced by the inhabitants of this low-lying territory. The print is a specimen of the high standards of Dutch map-making, where scientific accuracy was balanced with aesthetic presentation. The use of subtle hand-applied colour in the upper left corner highlights the water boundaries, adding a layer of clarity to the technical drawing. This piece offers a view into the historical landscape of the Netherlands, documenting the physical transformation of the terrain through human intervention and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/kaart-van-het-hoogheemraadschap-van-schieland-met-zevenhuizen-en-bleiswijk-balthasar-florisz-van-berckenrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Schieland, met Zevenhuizen en Bleiswijk by Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/kaart-van-het-dijkgraafschap-van-de-vier-noorder-koggen-deel-rechtsonder-hendrik-de-leth\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKaart van het dijkgraafschap van de Vier Noorder Koggen (deel rechtsonder) by Hendrik de Leth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/johannes-leupenius\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJohannes Leupenius prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johannes Leupenius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147341201743,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147347394895,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147347427663,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147347460431,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147347493199,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147347525967,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147347558735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147347591503,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147347624271,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147347657039,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147347689807,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147347722575,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Kaart-van-het-Hoogheemraadschap-van-de-Krimpenerwaard-zesde-deel-van-kaart-_Poster_CompositorV1_1792471904656.jpg?v=1792472018","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/kaart-van-het-hoogheemraadschap-van-de-krimpenerwaard-zesde-deel-van-kaart-johannes-leupenius","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
