GOUDA.

A hand-colored panoramic engraving of the city of Gouda, viewed from across the water. The city's skyline features numerous houses with red-tiled roofs, fortified walls, gates, and prominent church towers including the Sint-Janskerk. Several types of Dutch sailing vessels, such as boeiers and small rowing boats, are active on the river IJssel in the foreground. On the upper left, a coat of arms displays a red lion rampant on a gold field, the arms of the County of Holland. On the upper right, the coat of arms of Gouda is shown, featuring a vertical silver band flanked by six gold stars on a blue field. In the bottom right corner, a man and a woman in 16th or 17th-century attire stand on a grassy bank. A decorative cartouche at the bottom center contains Latin text describing the city's location at the confluence of the IJssel and Gouwe rivers.
