This is a very accurate city map of Haarlem with a modern black and white background painted with black watercolour on watercolour paper with the wet-on-wet technique. Because the watercolor is applied in a rather abstract way, you see in this work a plane division that consists of both dark and light parts. The lighter spots are reminiscent of light clouds, which give the impression of looking at Haarlem from an airplane.
This city map shows the following Haarlem districts and surrounding villages:
Waarderpolder, Patrimoniumbuurt, Frans Halsbuurt, Stationsbuurt, Kleverpark, Transvaalbuurt, Zijlwegkwartier, Oud Amsterdamsebuurt, Haarlem Oost, Slachthuisbuurt, Rozenprieel, Den Hout, Europawijk, Leidsevaartbuurt, Koninginnebuurt, Houtvaartkwartier, Ramplaankwartier, Duinwijk, National Park Zuid-Kennmerland, Bomenbuurt, Overdelft, Bloemendaal, Sinnevelt, Indische Buurt Noord en Zuid, Ter Kleef en Te Zaanen and Haarlemmerhoutkwartier.
