Dutch City Maps from Blaeu's Toonneel

http://grid.let.rug.nl/~welling/maps/blaeu.html

This site, created by George Welling from the University of Groningen, provides access to facsimile copies of maps from Blaeu’s ‘Toonneel der Steden’ published in 1652. Thirty five maps of Dutch towns are currently available from the site; these include maps of Arnheim, Amsterdam, Delft, Groningen, Haarlem, Leiden, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. The maps can be viewed either as gif or jpeg images. The gif images are smaller and quicker to download but consequently do not show as much detail. Some of the maps are accompanied by town histories (in Dutch) written by students at the University of Groningen.
