Blad voor wapenrand bij een kaart van de Purmer (eerste blad) 1683

This 1683 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, depicts six heraldic shields with detailed crests and supporters. The shields are framed with ornate scrolls and ribbons, showcasing a style popular in the 17th century Netherlands. The print, a part of a larger series, likely served as a decorative element for a book or map, showcasing the coats of arms of prominent figures associated with the Purmer region. The engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the period and highlights the importance of heraldry as a symbol of lineage and status.
