This handsome small map was derived from the Nicolas Visscher map of 1658, with a Briggs type island of California. A depiction of the discoveries of the De Vries voyage appears in the water north of Japan, and Tasman's discoveries are exhibited in New Zealand, shown as Zelandia Nova. The land of Anian is noted with a Straet Anian running between it and the Anian regnum. This later edition has revised the earlier Blaeu type Great Lakes basin to eliminate the single open-ended lake, which now appears as a semi-circular river. The Rio Grand is shown emanating from an unnamed lake and flowing incorrectly into the Gulf of California. The drape style title cartouche is held by a cherub and is lacking the engraver's imprint.
