"Friese Lands- en stadszegels" (Frisian Country and City Seals) is a collection of historical seals from different cities and towns in Friesland, a province in the Netherlands. Created by Andries van Calfsbeek, a renowned Dutch draughtsman and illustrator, between 1871 and 1875, this print showcases the intricate designs of these seals, each representing a specific location. The seals depict various motifs, from coats of arms and religious figures to architectural landmarks and symbols, providing a fascinating glimpse into the history and identity of these communities. The work can be found in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned art museum in Amsterdam, and offers a unique perspective on the evolution of heraldic art and local identity in the Netherlands.
