The four corners of the map contain vignettes from Genesis; the creation of Adam and Eve, Paradise, Eve offering Adam the apple, and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. At bottom center is a large scene of Noah's Ark at the beginning of the Deluge. Along the top a banner style cartouche holds the title. Dutch text on verso.
