I found this on a table in the back of one of the local thrift shops and figured it was worth the 4 Euros. I enjoy looking at old maps and other sorts of engravings. This map was originally sold in a shop in Maastricht (label on the back) but the shop is no longer there.
LANA is a printing company in France which was established in 1590. I am interested in finding out when this was printed. I looked on their website but didn't find any reference to this particular watermark. I just sent them an email and hope I get an answer soon.
Thanks for looking!

What are the numbers in picture 3, that seem to be pressed into the paper?
SpiritBear - that is the printer's mark: LANA 15(sword mark)90. This mark appears on the top and bottom edges of the print/engraving. The link to LANA will explain their origins.
Paris! I have to love your new bargain :-)
