Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van de Krimpenerwaard (deel wapenrand) 1683 - 1706

This engraving from 1683-1706 by an anonymous artist is a detailed heraldic shield, featuring the coat of arms of Bruno Vander Dussen, a prominent figure in Gouda, Netherlands. The image showcases the intricate details of the coat of arms, including two lions as supporters, a crowned shield with a checkered pattern, and a scroll with the inscription "HET HOO" (likely an abbreviated title). It's a visual representation of Dussen's lineage and status, with the scroll hinting at his role within the community. This artwork is a valuable glimpse into 17th-century Dutch heraldry and the significance of these symbols in representing power and identity.
