Nice siege map of Sluis and Zeelandic Flanders, the region governed by the "Vrije van Sluis", a governemental body founded through secession of the "Brugse Vrije" in 1586. Including an inset map of Sluis. From the 2nd ed. of Petrus Kaerius' "Germania inferior" where it replaced pl. 10: "Flandriae pars orientalior" (Amsterdam, 1622, pp. 43-44). When, in the early 1620s, Kaerius' printing business made a loss, his copper plates ended up in the hands of Claes Janszoon Visscher.
