This interesting chart contains the coat of arms of the 17 Dutch provinces, with descriptions of the major cities and towns, political and religious diversity, trades, inventions and VOC (Dutch East India Company) chambers. The small map in the top left corner shows contours of the famous Leo Belgicus and a mileage chart fills the opposite corner. A Latin title, Tabula XVII Foederati Belgii Provinciarum… is above the Dutch title.
