Lizars’ Map of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands

This map of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands is from 'A Modern and Ancient General Atlas, comprehending all the Empires, Kingdoms, States in the World'.

Lizars trained as a painter, but in 1812 took over the Edinburgh publishing and engraving business established by his father. The United Kingdom of the Netherlands was created at the end of the Napoleonic Wars; Belgium became independent in 1830.
