"Comitatus Hollandiae Tabula Pluribus Locis Recens Emendata", Wit, Frederick de

This decorative map depicts Utrecht and parts of Friesland and Brabant with their coasts. The details include canals, roads, polders, marshes, and villages with major cities depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans. The West Frisian Islands are shown in an inset. Compass roses orient north to the right and a variety of sailing vessels fill the seas. A host of mermen pull a sea chariot with the Dutch coat of arms and a pair of surveyors decorate the scale cartouche at bottom. This is De Wit's version of Visscher's very similar map. This is the third state of De Wit's map with a town plan added inside the Amsterdam city walls, published between 1671-76.
