Gijsbert Franco Baron Von Derfelden van Hinderstein (1783-1857)

An extensive work on the life and work of the Utrecht based cartographer Gijsbert Franco von Derfelden. The composer of the Algemeene Kaart van Nederlandsch Oost-Indië (160 x 240 cm) is virtually unknown, except for his name and his maps. Therefore, this work offers many new insights. The book comes with a cd-rom with numerous appendices.
