A hand-colored 16th or 17th-century engraving providing a panoramic cityscape of Dordrecht from across the river Merwede. In the top left corner is the coat of arms of the County of Holland, showing a red lion rampant on a gold shield. Top center features the "Maiden of Dordrecht" Hollandse Maagd Maiden of Holland seated within a circular wattle fence known as the "Hollandse Tuin," holding a shield with the city's red and white heraldry and a palm branch. The top right contains an ornate decorative cartouche with the Latin title and a verse. The city stretches along the far bank, with the Grote Kerk Great Church as the most prominent landmark. The river is busy with various ships and small boats, and is labeled "MERVE FLV." in the center. The foreground depicts a grassy riverbank with reclining cattle on the left and a man and woman in period attire on the right. A decorative legend box at the bottom left identifies nineteen specific buildings and gates.
The Meuse and the Waal, together with the Linga and the Merwede, surround you,
Behold, the eternal faith of the Batavian Maiden.
