Cities of the World

A detailed hand-colored bird's-eye view map of the fortified city of Roermond. The city is depicted with its defensive walls, towers, and moats intact. Inside the walls, the streets are lined with gabled buildings, and several large gothic-style churches with tall spires are prominently featured. The River Meuse flows along the left side. A smaller waterway, labeled "RVERMONDE," flows around the northern and eastern sides of the city, forming a moat. In the top-left corner, a circular medallion contains a coat of arms featuring a blue lion rampant on a gold field. A corresponding circular frame in the top-right corner contains a blank shield. To the right of the city, a windmill and some sparse trees are visible. In the bottom-left corner, an ornate red and gold strapwork cartouche contains the city's title.
