"Kaart van Gelderland" is an anonymous, detailed map of the Duchy of Guelders, including neighboring territories like Zutphen, Brabant, and parts of the Rhine. It was created between 1695 and 1711, likely as a cartographic and geographic record. The map, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses a combination of lines and colors to define boundaries and features, with intricate details and handwritten place names. It is a valuable historical artifact that provides insights into the political geography of the late 17th century in the Netherlands.
