Rare cadastral publication, presumably by Jordaan Van Herck, treasurer of the polder of Oorderen between 1707 and 1737, concerning the Antwerp Scheldt polders. Engr. historiated initial with portrait of Emperor Charles VI. Includes also a rare cadastral map drawn after the reclamation of the polders and the 1723 reclining of the polder of Oorderen in particular, made by Van Goethem (sworn land surveyor) and engraved by J.B. Jongelinx, entitled: "Carteringhe ende metinge gedaen hij den Onderschreven Geswooren Lantmeter geadmitteert door sijne Ma[jestei]t van alle Landen gelegen in den nieuw bedijckten Polder van Oorderen, Wilmersdonck ende Ordam besloten den Jaere 1722. Actum tot Nieukercken Lande van Waes desen 28en Juli 1723." (Engr. 52 x 51 cm (sm. tear on folding)). The map is the first to give a clear view on the "Cauwensteinse Geul" and the "Grote Geul", as well as on the new 1723 angled construction of the Scheldt dike.
