Kaart van het hertogdom Limburg 1633 - 1649

"Kaart van het hertogdom Limburg" is an anonymous map of the Duchy of Limburg, created between 1633 and 1649. Now in the Rijksmuseum, the detailed engraving shows a bird's-eye view of the region with rivers, towns, and forests rendered in delicate lines. The map is framed by a decorative border featuring a coat of arms and two figures, one holding a compass and the other a globe, symbolizing the exploration and cartographic expertise of the era. This work is an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the cartographic practices and the geographical understanding of the Duchy of Limburg in the 17th century.
