Description
Nederlands: Deze kaart van het hoogheemraadschap van de Uitwaterende Sluizen in Kennemerland en West-Friesland werd in 1680 vervaardigd door de landmeter Johannes Dou (1642-1682). De graveur Coenraet Decker (1651-1685) graveerde het kaartbeeld, terwijl Abraham Deur de letters sneed. Deze kaart is een typisch voorbeeld van Nederlandse waterschapskartografie. Om het in een diepe kom liggende Hollandse laagland tegen het water van zee en rivieren te beschermen, lagen er in West-Nederland een groot aantal waterschappen die ieder verantwoordelijk waren voor de waterstaatszorg in hun gebied. Om het waterbeheer zo efficient mogelijk te laten zijn, waren goede overzichtskaarten enorm belangrijk. Op deze kaarten werden vaak ook de wapenschilden van de bestuurders van het waterschap gegraveerd. Dat representatieve karakter was vaak erg belangrijk. Zo werd deze kaart van de Uitwaterende Sluizen in Kennemerland en West-Friesland in de loop van de 17de en 18de eeuw meerdere malen herdrukt. Het kaartbeeld bleef daarbij ongewijzigd, maar de wapens werden steeds veranderd. Afgaande op de wapenschilden kunnen we vaststellen dat de kaart tussen 1682 en 1683 werd gepubliceerd.
English: The map of the district water board (hoogheemraadschap) Uitwaterende Sluizen in Kennemerland en Westfriesland was produced by surveyor Johannes Dou (1642-1682) in 1680. Coenraet Decker (1651-1685) engraved the image of the map, with Abraham Deur cutting the letters. This map is a typical example of the cartography of river maps. In order to be able to protect the lower area in Holland against the sea and rivers, there were several water boards in West-Netherlands, reponsible for the management and care of the territory. To achieve this, accurate general maps were indispensible. These maps were often decorated with the coats of arms of the representatives of the polder board. The representative character was very important. So much so that this map was reissued several times during the 17th and 18th centuries. The image on the maps was not changed, but the coats of arms were adapted. Judging by these coats of arms we can determine that the map was published between 1682 and 1683.
