Note:
This is a large map covering the east coast of Asia to the west coasts of Africa and Europe, with primary emphasis on the Pacific Ocean and the Americas, showing trade and exploration routes. It is one of the most spectacular examples of the merge of cartography and graphic art. The map offers a lot of detail in the insets and their surroundings with ornamented cartouches, decorated in the tradition of Dutch cartography, with portraits of explorers, illustrations of indigenous peoples, wildlife, flora, and historical notes. The map provides an amazing graphical depiction of the age of discovery and the character of the New World, embellished with insets and vignettes of various scenes and regions in the New World. The marginal vignettes range from narrative scenes depicting colonial economies based on beaver, cod, and sugar, to geographic insets providing large-scale maps of significant locations, such as the Mississippi Delta, Niagara Falls, the Cape of Good Hope, as well as numerous cities and towns. Although California was depicted as an island on this map, there was a notation indicating that some Europeans believed it was attached to the mainland, making this one of the first European maps to question the myth of California as an island as depicted on many Dutch and English maps since the 1630's.

Note:
This is a heavily ornamented map with quite a number of insets. On the upper part of the map there are five drawings of views, there is the Niagara Falls with castors working on dams inside a phytomorphic cartouche with an archer hunting bulls on the left side. On its right there is a cartouche with a hunting scene of beavers, moose and bears; another depicting cod fishing; a view of the Gibraltar Strait and other of the Cape of Good Hope. Still on the upper part, can be seen nine medallions with the portraits of explorers, each with a banderole with their name and deed. There are represented Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512), Fernão de Magalhães (1480-1521), Willem Schouten (1567-1625), Olivier van Noort (1558-1627), Jacques l'Hermite (1582-1624), Francis Drake (ca. 1540-1596), William Dampier (1651-1715) and René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (1643-1687). The bottom part of the map has the most insets and almost all of them decorated with scenes of the places they depict. The Mariana Islands are inside a phytomorphic cartouche with fauna and flora from the island and a depiction of natives swimming on the sea near a sail ship; above the Panama inset can be seen lamas carrying the gold and silver from Lima and Panama; the Port of Acapulco is sided by tress of the region such as banana and cashew trees and above it the scrape of the cassava and the return of the turtles to a beach. The inset of the Golf of Mexico is surrounded by small depictions of the daily life of Canadians, such as burials, marriages, night hunts, meals, etc. Lima is headed by a sugar mill and Bolivia by mines. Around Mexico there is a Mexican native, Mexican burials, sacrifices of war prisoners, the Teotihuacan and a scene of Hernan Cortés (1485-1547) destroying the pagan idols. The River Plate is sided by two explorers one with the coat of arms of Lion and Castille and the other with the coast of arms of Portugal, headed by two natives looking for gold on the river. Havana has a crocodile and a harbor seal, Rio de Janeiro by natives handling cassava and Vera Cruz by the arrival of Hernan Cortés in 1519. All the bottom insets and scenes are carefully separated by phytomorphic motives that depict an extensive number of fauna and flora that can be found on the places depicted.
