Titelpagina van het pamflet: Walvisch van Berckhey (...) ghestrandet is Anno 1598. den 3 Februarij, 1599 1590s

This is a detailed woodcut print from the 1590s, likely created by an anonymous artist. The print depicts a map of the Netherlands (including a portion of Germany), with a large whale (or walvisch) stranded at the bottom of the page, near Berckhep. The text describes the whale stranding as a notable event, and mentions the Spanish army's movements near Cleves. The print is a fascinating example of early Dutch cartography and demonstrates how natural events were often incorporated into contemporary social and political discourse.
