Condition: Good.

Fold-out map of the Wadden Island on a scale of 1: 84,000; being a coloured lithography (41 x 49.5 cm), surrounded by advertisements and advertisements for Texel companies and shops. Also includes a insert map of the 'Ontginning Staatsboschbedrijf "Westermient". 1:25.000.

Visible are i.a. Den Helder, a steamboat liner service, Hoorn, Oudeschild, Tienhoven, Oosterend, the Eijerlandsche Polder, De Cocksdorp, Driehuizen and central Den Burg. At the top we see of a piece of Vlieland.

¶ Only one copy in a public collection to be found on Picarta and dated there at the end of the 19th century (c. 1890). Given the depicted automobile from Garage M.A. Kuijper, however, we date this antiquarian map around 1910-1920. The cover reads "Gratis Exemplaar" (= Free Copy). But also a selling price of f. 0.25 is stated. So it is interesting to imagine how the conversation must have gone when it was sold in the store.
