"Kaart van Haarlem en omstreken en een gedeelte van de provincie Noord-Holland en een stuk van de Noordzee" is an 18th-century map by Coenraet Decker, depicting Haarlem and its surrounding areas, part of North Holland province, and the North Sea. The map, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed and visually rich representation of the region's geography, featuring intricate lines denoting roads, waterways, and boundaries. The map's bottom border shows ships sailing across the choppy waters, contributing to the overall sense of movement and depth. This artwork exemplifies the cartographical and artistic skills of its time and serves as a valuable historical document for understanding the region's landscape in the 17th and 18th centuries.
