Die stadt Enchuijsen / Luytgen Jansz. Waeghenaer inventor; Harman Muller fecit 15/2/1577. ... (1577) - Page 1

A bird's-eye view map of the city of Enkhuizen from 1577, created by Lucas Jansz Waghenaer. The city is shown as a densely built peninsula fortified with walls, gates, and bastions, surrounded by water. The "Zuijder Zee" (Zuiderzee) is filled with various ships, including merchant vessels and small boats. To the upper left, an ornamental cartouche contains a coat of arms featuring three crowned herrings, topped with a winged cherub. To the right, a large architectural legend frame contains a numbered list of city landmarks. The landscape beyond the walls includes agricultural plots and several windmills. A mythological sea figure appears in the water at the bottom right. The map is drawn in a perspective typical of late 16th-century Dutch cartography.
