Impressive and very rare plan of Gent by Covens & Mortier. This city plan seems to be engraved by F. De Bakker and published in Amsterdam after 1720. The plan is a close copy to the plan issued by Fricx in 1711. The main buildings have been represented individually. Several changes to the Fricx plan occurs. The extensive legend has 82 entries.
