Wall map of the Kingdom
During the mid-19th century, the wall map made its appearance in the classroom. These hand-coloured maps depict 11 provinces, complete with the provincial and district capitals, smaller towns, villages, hamlets, as well as the country’s network of waterways and railways. The map also displays the Dutch colonies and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which formed a personal union with the Netherlands until 1890.
