This engraving, created by Dutch artist Hendrik de Leth in the early 18th century, showcases the coats of arms of various individuals associated with the Drechterland dike district. The intricate heraldic designs are prominently featured at the top of the composition, while the lower section depicts figures associated with agriculture, likely symbolizing the district's economic activities. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of 18th-century Dutch society.
