Created by the renowned cartographer Michaelis Tramezini in 1558, this map is a testament to the rich history of mapmaking in Europe during the modern age. Tramezini's map of Friesland, a historical province in the north of the Netherlands, was produced during the height of the Dutch Golden Age. The map is notable for its accurate representation of the region's complex coastline, intricate waterways, and the various towns and cities within its borders.

This map provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the political and geographical landscape of Friesland during the 16th century. It is a reminder of the important role that maps played in shaping our understanding of the world and the advancements in cartography that have shaped the way we navigate and explore our planet. This map is a must-have for collectors of historical maps, cartography enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the history of the Netherlands or Europe during the early modern period.
