Very rare copy on cloth of the first stand-alone edition of this detailed plan based on new land registry maps, reprinted in 1847/1852 by Bollaan and in 1860 by Dannenfelser. Van der Monde issued the plan in 1838 in his Tijdschrift voor geschiedenis, oudheden en statistiek van Utrecht, without the legend, which was included in the text and could be completed or corrected by readers. The first stand-alone edition was available in 3 variants: uncoloured at 1.40 guilders, handcoloured at 2.10 guilders and a deluxe edition handcoloured on cloth at 2.40 guilders.
