An interesting view of the Netherlands and Belgium from a commercial and industrial perspective. There is statistical information about various Dutch and Belgian cities and regions on the top and bottom of the map with 21 attractive vignettes depicting industry native to each area as well as its architecture and inhabitants. The actual map has commercial and industrial centres, mines, factories, major roads and railways marked on it.Alexandre Vuillemin (1812-1880) was a cartographer and a book editor based in Paris. Despite a prolific cartographic career, much of Vuillemin's life is shrouded in mystery. What is known is that his studied under the prominent French Auguste Henri Dufour (1798-1865). Vuillemin's most important work is his detailed, highly decorative large format Atlas de Géographie Commerciale et Industrielle, which this map is a part of.

Very good condition; a slight tear in left centrefold, not affecting the image.
