Coat of Arms of Haarlem, end page to Counts and Countesses of Holland, Zeeland and West-Frisia
<p>In this emblematic portrait of Haarlem, the view of the city in the background suggests the richness that has already graced the landscape. The palm, sword, stars, and crosses with which the cherubim cavort symbolize the city, and the requisite Latin poem by Peter Scriverius (himself depicted in 1923.1038) reinforces the fair citadel’s virtue and promise.</p>
