The Ancient Map of Bailleul, 1649, is a beautifully detailed cartographic depiction of the historic town of Bailleul, located in the French region of Flanders. Created during a time when maps served both practical and artistic purposes, this map reflects the rich history and cultural significance of the town in the 17th century.

The map offers a bird’s-eye view of Bailleul, showcasing its medieval layout with remarkable accuracy and artistic flair. Walled fortifications encircle the town, emphasizing its strategic importance during a period marked by frequent conflicts between France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic. Bastions, gates, and towers are meticulously rendered, illustrating the town’s defensive structures. Within the walls, the streets are laid out in a grid-like pattern, radiating from the central square, where the town’s market and Gothic-style belfry stand as focal points.

Surrounding the town, the map captures the rural Flemish landscape, dotted with farms, windmills, and open fields. These details provide insight into the region’s agricultural heritage and its role in sustaining the local economy. Rivers and roads are clearly marked, underscoring Bailleul’s position as a hub of trade and communication.

Artistic embellishments enhance the map’s visual appeal, including decorative cartouches that often contain the map’s title, a dedication, or a coat of arms. The margins may also feature illustrations of regional flora, fauna, or historical events, adding cultural context to the cartography.

This map was likely commissioned for administrative, military, or commercial purposes, reflecting Bailleul’s significance in the 17th century. Today, it is valued as both a work of art and a historical document, offering a glimpse into the architectural and social fabric of a small yet pivotal town during a transformative period in European history.
