= Achttienhoven near Nieuwkoop, the river Oude Meije can be seen in the upper left corner. Laurens Jansz. Spiegel, lord of Achttienhoven, died in 1623 and was married to Cornelia (Neeltje) Oudenrogh (1572-1647), who probably commissioned this map. Shown are the separate plots and a list with their sizes and their respective owners/ tenants. I.a. Anthony Oetgens (Lord of Waveren) who was also related to the Spiegel family.

"Uit de vorige eeuw kennen we de buurtkaarten. De verdeling in buurten werd in 1851 ingesteld, waarna een aantal uitgevers atlassen op de markt bracht waarin van iedere buurt een kaart was opgenomen. De belangrijkste is wel die van J.C. Loman. Zijn in 1876 in druk verschenen atlas, waarin we alle buurten vinden op een schaal van 1:1250, geeft ook een perceelsgewijze indeling, waarbij de in 1875 ingevoerde en nog steeds in gebruik zijnde huisnummering is aangegeven. Ook wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen publieke gebouwen, kerken, woonhuizen, pakhuizen en "gebouwde eigendommen der Gemeente, niet tot de publieke dienst bestemd". Verder vinden we op deze kaarten de brandschellen, lantaarns, urinoirs, riolen en de "tramway"." (Hofman, Amsterdam. Burgerwijkkaarten, p.I).
ADDED: several loose manuscript and printed 19th cent./ early 20th century plans of parts of Amsterdam, with i.a. proposals by architects for the extensions of Amsterdam in the 2nd half of the 19th century (i.a. the area between the Jacob van Lennepkade and the Overtoom, which in this particular plan is designed as the Vondelkade) and plans used as reference for auctions of building sections.
