The engraving is from Beschryvinge der stadt Delft by Dirck van Bleyswijk \(Description of the City of Delft\), published in Delft in 1667-80. This publication, a history of the city with descriptions of the greatest accomplishments of its citizens and all its important monuments, was an expression of the civic pride.
