Rare map of 't GooiExtremely rare. The map is dedicated to Hendrick Bicker Schepen at Amsterdam (his coat of arms is also shown). Amongst others, the villages Naarden, Huyzen, Buss um, Laren, Hilversum and Eemnes are depicted. Further, several estates at 's Gravenland, including that of the brothers Bicker, two estates of Jacob Roeters and Blommert, etc., are also named. The information is partly derived from earlier maps, such as the 1709 map of Justus van Broekchuysen and the 1723 map by Maurits van Walraven. In the present map new information is added on the estates at 's Gravenland and a legend with the surface of the 'erfgooiersgronden'. Also depicted is an inset map with the 'Maatlanden'.Engraved map with FINE CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLOUR.Donkersloot-de Vrij, 'Topografische kaarten van Nederland voor 1750', no. 799; H. Tromp, & J.
