This map was created to show the roads and trade routes between the Netherlands and Italy and extends from the North Sea to the Gulf of Venice. The tables at top list the prices to transport a bale between various cities. This is the fourth state, with the addition of two figures flanking the title cartouche. Although the first state of this plate bears the imprint of Cornelis Danckerts I, Carhart theorizes that the plate may have actually been engraved by De Wit.
