New Map of the County of Holland

The print is a vertically oriented black-and-white map of the Dutch coastal region. A prominent title cartouche on the left side is enclosed in an elaborate scrollwork frame, featuring a seated allegorical figure of a woman with a lion and a crown. Across the water, a large compass rose with a prominent star-burst needle points North, while small ships are scattered across the sea, and a heraldic crest depicting a rampant lion sits near the top. The geography is rendered with dense toponymic labels, intricate coastlines, and internal waterways common to 16th-century Dutch cartography.

This map reflects the Dutch Golden Age's obsession with maritime trade and geographical precision, which was central to the mercantile expansion and natural philosophy of the era. It serves as a visual record of the territorial consolidation of the Netherlands during the early stages of the Eighty Years' War.
