This map of the County of Holland, created between 1680 and 1711, was made by Gerard Coeck, a Flemish cartographer who died in 1649. The map depicts the region of Holland with detailed outlines of its various provinces and cities. The intricate cartographic style, featuring a grid network, compass roses, and sailing ships, reflects the flourishing maritime culture of the Dutch Golden Age. The map is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed cartography that was popular in the 17th century.
