An attractive example of this early map of Luxembourg, which appeared in Petrus Kaerius's (Peter Van der Keere) Germaniae Inferior id est, XVII Provinciarum ejus novae et exactae Tabulae Geographicae, first published in Amsterdam in 1617.
The map includes a view of the City of Luxembourg, its coat of arms, and indigenous costumes.

The map includes a view of the town of Middelburg, a compass rose and costumes showing typical regional dress.
