West-Brabant à la carte

The Markiezenhof (Historisch Centrum, Bergen op Zoom, NL) and the Gemeentearchief Roosendaal (NL) present the exhibition West-Brabant à la carte: drie generaties landmeters Adan. Original maps of the Adan family of surveyors can be seen both in the Markiezenhof and in the Museum Tongerlohuys (Roosendaal). The exhibition opened on December 15th, 2007 and runs until June 15th, 2008. So, still plenty of time to go and watch these 18th and 19th century maps. The Adan family produced about 1200 maps over a period of some 160 years (1711-1878).

Drie generaties Adan, by Martijn Storms is a scientific accountable reference book and a standard work about the cartographic heritance of the Adan family, which was published on the occasion of the double exhibition.
Drie generaties Adan: West-Brabantse landmeters in de 18e en 19e eeuw / Martijn Storms. ‘t Goy-Houten, Hes & De Graaf, 2007, 284 p. ISBN 978 90 6194 040 1
