Kaart en beschrijving van Overijssel c. 1648 - 1725

Gerard Coeck's "Kaart en beschrijving van Overijssel" is a detailed map of the Overijssel province in the Netherlands, created sometime between 1648 and 1725. The map utilizes a variety of colors to distinguish different regions within the province, and features text descriptions surrounding the map. Coeck, born in 1608 and known for his cartographic work, sadly died in 1649, making this map a posthumous piece likely produced by his workshop. The map would have been a valuable tool for navigation, planning, and understanding the geography of the region during the 17th and 18th centuries.
