The map
Middelburg is the capital of Zeeland, on the former island of Walcheren in the southwest Netherlands. From above, its outline is unmistakable: the old town sits inside a ring of water shaped by former bastions, giving the city a star-like perimeter. Within it, streets run in a roughly concentric pattern around the abbey and market square.
In the seventeenth century Middelburg was a major trading city and home to a chamber of the Dutch East India Company. The abbey complex, with its tall tower known as Lange Jan, still marks the centre. The Walcheren Canal passes along the edge of town, linking it by water with Vlissingen on the coast and Veere to the north.
A Middelburg map poster is one of those prints where the shape does most of the work. The star of canals, the tight streets inside and the straight canal passing alongside make a composition that looks almost designed, which in a sense it was. In black and white, the bastions are especially striking.

At the centre, the abbey complex and its tall tower form the focus of the old town, with streets arranged around it.
A straight shipping canal runs past the city between Vlissingen and Veere, a bold modern line beside the older curves of the moat.
