This anonymous map from the late 17th century depicts the Barony of Breda in the Netherlands. The map uses a detailed network of lines to represent the rivers and roads of the region. The "Hollands Diep" (Dutch Deep) can be seen running horizontally along the top, indicating the location of the barony in relation to the sea. The map is characteristic of cartographic work from the Dutch Golden Age, prioritizing accurate representation over decorative elements. "Kaart van de Baronie van Breda" is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing the history of cartography in the Netherlands.
