Reproductie van een ontwerp met zeven wapenschilden uit een atlas van Joan Blaeu before 1880

This anonymous reproduction of a design from an atlas by Joan Blaeu features seven coats of arms. The central coat of arms is the most prominent, with elaborate ornamentation and a banner declaring "SVECIA. DANIA ET NORVEGIA." The other six coats of arms are arranged around the central coat of arms, each with its own unique design. The image is a detailed example of heraldry, the practice of designing and displaying coats of arms. This reproduction is an interesting document of historical heraldry, offering a glimpse into the visual language of power and identity in the 17th century.
