This 1672 map by Dutch artist Nicolaes van Geelkercken showcases detailed views of six towns in the Duchy of Guelders. The cities of Nieuwstadt, Geldern, Straelen, Wachtendonk, and Erkelenz are each represented with a map, while Montfort is shown in a panoramic view. The print exemplifies the artistic skill of the Dutch Golden Age, demonstrating both meticulous attention to detail and a clear understanding of mapmaking. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
