This anonymous, circular engraving, titled "Penning met een embleem en de namen van de graven van Vlaanderen," depicts the fortified city of Moenib, a representation of medieval urban defense. Dating from 1685-1720, the image is a symbolic visualization of the Counts of Flanders and their fortresses, including names and dates of their reigns. The concentric circles surrounding the city map, including the Latin inscription "Muris Secura Flor Ebit" ("The walls will flourish securely"), represent the strength and prosperity of Flanders during this period. This detailed illustration, likely intended as a historical document, serves as a testament to the power of Flanders' historical figures and their architectural achievements.
