This 1712 Dutch illustrated page, titled "Bladzijde met verklaring van gebruikte symbolen en tekens voor het weer," by weduwe Slegers, is a fascinating example of early weather forecasting. It uses a series of symbols and descriptions to depict weather patterns, such as "warm and fair," "hail," "thunder and lightning," and "fog or mist," with corresponding illustrations. The small size of the page suggests it was meant for personal use, perhaps as a guide for farmers or mariners.
