Note:
This double hemisphere map was first published by Jodocus Hondius ca. 1625 and the first printed map to include the Dutch discoveries on the West Coast of Australia -five places named. Many maps were later printed according to this Hondius model including this one in the book 'Le grand nouvel atlas de le mer, ou Monde aquatique' by Johannes van Keulen. The usual Southern Continent completely disappears on this map and North America is not as wide as commonly found on early 17th century maps. California is shown correctly as a peninsula. As for South America still includes the two mythical lakes -the here unnamed 'Lake Parime' underneath the city of 'Manoa' or 'El Dorado' and 'Lacus E[n]pana' in Brazil. On Asia, Korea is still depicted as an island and only the northern coast of New Guinea is depicted. Macao is written on land on the eastern side of the Pearl River estuary.

Note:
There is a full compass rose on the East hemisphere and a half compass rose on the West hemisphere. Both are colored red and yellow. The half-winds for both of them are dotted and curved which some authors believe to be an early attempt on isolines. On total are depicted 8 vessels and two sea monsters. At the middle of the two hemispheres on the upper part there is a cartouche with the imprint sided by the representations of Earth -Terra- with a cornucopia on her left hand and of Water -Aqua- with a river filled with fish and a jar in hand spilling water to the ocean. Also at the center but on the bottom there is a celestial globe with the name of the engraver of the map -'Franscoiis Huiis'- sided by representations of Fire -Ignis- with flames surrounding his head, stepping on a dragon and a volcano on the horizon and Air -Aer- sitting on a cloud with winds heads, together with some birds. On each corner there is the representations of the four seasons: Spring -Ver- as a woman with a leafed branch in hand with a field on the background being planted; Summer -Aestas- as a woman accompanied by two child, harvest tools and the killing of animals on the background; Autumn -Autumnus- as a man with some fruits on his back and a stepping on the grapes scene behind him and finally Winter -Hyems- as a man eating by the fire with people skying on a frozen lake on the further-ground.
