Kaart van Gelderland 1705

This 1705 map of Gelderland, a region in the Netherlands, was created by Abraham Allard (1676-1725). The map is a detailed and intricate depiction of the region, incorporating rivers, cities, and roads, providing insight into the region's geography and infrastructure at that time. The map's ornate borders and the cartouche, a decorative element with a coat of arms, showcase the artistic flair typical of 18th-century cartography. The map is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a valuable historical artifact for understanding Dutch cartography and the region's development in the early 18th century.
