This anonymous map, titled “Kaart van het graafschap Zutphen,” is a detailed representation of the Zutphen region in the Netherlands, dated between 1635 and 1696. The map uses a combination of text and illustrative elements to depict the landscape, waterways, and settlements within the county. Notably, a small figure of a man representing “Le Comte de Zutphen” is featured in the bottom right corner, emphasizing the county’s importance and potentially hinting at the map’s intended audience. The map, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable historical snapshot of the geography and administration of this region in the Dutch Golden Age.
