This 1850-1881 print by Dirk Noothoven van Goor, titled "De Provincie Gelderland. 372,000 inwoners," is an educational illustration for children. It presents a map of the Dutch province Gelderland, alongside four detailed depictions of important landmarks: the Veluwe, the river IJssel, the town of Zutphen, and the castle of "de Loenissen." The print was part of a series aimed at teaching geography to young readers. It's a charming example of 19th-century educational illustration, combining visual elements with text to engage children in learning about their surroundings.
