Published by Jacob van Biesen in Arnhem. The Gelderland cartographer Nicolaas Geelkercken was responsible for the maps and the special city plans with profile views. The engravings are reduced views of his earlier maps, which appeared in Isaac Pontanus's work (1639). Research has shown that the maps produced by Geelkercken correspond to the current maps by about 90%. His city plans were later used by Joan Blaeu and Johannes Janssonius for their City Books.

Gravure 25 x 34 cm op een blad van 29.5 x 36 cm.

Uitgegeven door Jacob van Biesen te Arnhem. Gelders cartograaf Nicolaas Geelkercken was verantwoordelijk voor de kaarten en bijzondere stadsplattegronden met profielaanzichten. De gravures zijn verkleinde weergaven van zijn eerdere kaarten, welke verschenen in het werk van Isaac Pontanus (1639). Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat de door Geelkercken vervaardigde kaarten voor 90% overeenkomen met de huidige kaarten. Zijn stadsplattegronden zijn later gebruikt door Joan Blaeu en Johannes Janssonius voor hun Stedenboeken.
