I found these maps online for sale. According to the seller they were by the mapmaker Francois/Fransesco Collignon, dated 1672. I see the following towns/cities: BOMMEL (Zaltbommel), Deventer, Coevorden, Zutphen, Utrecht, BOSLEDVC ('s Hertogenbosch), CREVECOEVR (Engelen?), Breda, BVRICK (Büderich? Buren?).

Can anyone tell me more about these maps? I would expect to find them in public collections of for sale somewhere. Thanks for any help!
