This anonymous map, titled "Kaart van het hertogdom Luxemburg" (Map of the Duchy of Luxembourg), depicts the region in detail. Created between 1635 and 1696, the map features intricate lines representing rivers and roads, along with towns and villages labelled in Dutch. The use of light pink and brown hues for land masses, with rivers and borders highlighted in gold, gives it a timeless charm. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this map offers a historical glimpse into the cartographic art of the 17th century.
