"De Bello Belgico Decas II Famiani Stradæ Rom. Soc. Iesu". Anonymous copper etching. Title page for: Famiani
Stradae Romani E Societate Iesu De Bello Belgico Decas Secunda... by Famiano Strada, a Jesuit in Rome,( a history of the Low Countries). The map belongs to the series known as "Leo Belgicus", or the Lion of Belgium, which was started in 1583 by the
Austrian, Michael Aitzinger. Many cartographers have used the idea, among them, C.J. Visscher, Jan van Doetecum, Peter van
den Keere and others.

We have here the second state, published in 1647 of the anonymous map. 7.2 van der Heijden (first state: 1632)

On the lower tail is a bit of England to be seen. In the lower left is part of the French coast south of Calais to Tresport. In the
upper right is the mouth of the Ems with Emden in the corner. In the lower right is Metz and on the lion's left front paw is
Luxembourg. On the tip of the paw holding the title is Cologne. Right above the paw is Düsseldorf. Notice the three sailing
vessels and a sea monster in the northwest.

Map has overall browning and scattered spotting. The left margin has been added, the other margin edges are somewhat frayed.
Right margin has some small pieces added in upper corner. There are several creases and water stains and surface is not smooth.
Bottom margin bears ink hand writing reaching partially into print. The overall judgement for the condition is barely Good.
Considering the extreme rarity of this Leo Belgico we have, nevertheless, decided to make an exception for our acceptance for
our normal Internet criteria.
