This 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe is a title page for a book on the Duchy of Limburg. The artwork features two cherubs holding up a plaque with the title of the book, "Les Plans et Profils des principales Villes, et lieux considerables du Duché de Limbourg", written in French. The plaque is surrounded by an ornate border with a coat of arms of the region at the top. The cherubs and coat of arms add a sense of grandeur and importance to the title page, suggesting the historical value of the publication. De Hooghe's engraving was likely made for a wider audience, particularly those interested in cartography and the history of the region.
