Kaart van Luxemburg 1612 - 1648

This detailed map of the Duchy of Luxembourg, created by Pieter van der Keere between 1612 and 1648, is a fine example of cartographic artistry. It showcases the intricate details of the region, with rivers, forests, and cities meticulously rendered. The map, held at the Rijksmuseum, is notable for its ornate cartouche, a decorative frame that features the inscription "LUTZENBURGEN SIS DUCATUSVE RISS. DESCRIPT." This ornate design exemplifies the decorative style common in Dutch cartography of the period.
