Hi Steven
Re Vermeer last posting, there is a lot of stuff on Vermeer and maps. Vermeer shows maps in 6 of the 37 extant paintings. In three, the map is the same one, Holland and West Friesland as part of the Dutch Republic.
Excellent article (and forthcoming book on the subject) at

Keep up the good work!
