Framed Antique Map of Lille by Braun & Hogenberg

This framed map is in excellent condition! It would make a great addition to any office and add a touch of history! Lille belonged to the French-speaking part of the County of Flanders, whose mayor was appointed directly by the King of France. In 1384 it passed to the House of Burgundy and became one of the primary residences of the Burgundian dukes.
In the 17th century the face of the city changed substantially as a result of wars and the citadel-like design of Sebastien Le Presort Marquis de Vauban. The present view therefore has an important documentary value, however, the Churches of Saint-Maurice and Saint-Catherine continue to form part of the cityscape.
