This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Zeelandia Comitatus’, which translates to ‘County of Zeeland’. Zeeland is a province located in the southwestern part of the Netherlands. In the early 17th century, the Netherlands was a major world power, with its bustling trade and commerce making it one of the wealthiest countries in Europe. The Dutch Golden Age, as it is called, saw the rise of great artists such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, as well as significant advancements in science and technology. The Netherlands was also embroiled in various conflicts, including the Eighty Years’ War against Spain and the Franco-Dutch War against France. The map borders France and Belgium and includes the centrally located towns of Middelburg, Zierikzee, and Goes.
