Summary

Kaart van de provincies Holland, Utrecht en Gelderland met de vestingen en forten gebouwd tijdens de oorlog in 1672. Rechtsboven de cartouche met de titel. Rechtsonder een schaalstok: Duytsche mijlen / Milliaria Germanica.

A cartouche or cartouch is an oval design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian cartoccia. Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (illustration, left). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's Lives, framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery cartoccia.
