The Dutch National Archive has digitized a huge collection of beautiful maps and city views made by Johannes Vingboons in 1665.

This is from a map of Frederikstad (now João Pessoa, Brazil). The Portuguese city was seized by the Dutch between 1630-1654 as part of the short-lived New Holland colony.
