Abraham Jansz. Deur’s *Kaart van de Zeventien Provinciën* is a detailed map of the 17 provinces of the Dutch Republic, created between 1656 and 1663. The map, which measures 473 mm in height and 573 mm in width, features intricate details of the region’s geography, including rivers, towns, and borders. Deur, born in 1640 and died in 1719, was known for his precise and visually appealing cartographic works. This map, with its rich colors and ornate cartouche, is a testament to his skill and the importance of cartography in the 17th century.
