Originally published as a separately issued map. It has the addition of a folio figure "5" in the upper right corner, indicating the map was to be incorporated into an atlas. However, none of the atlases is known to have survived. The upper border shows seven city views: Ormus, Aden, Jerusalem, Damascus, Rhodes, and Famagusta, copied from Hondius's 1623 map of Asia. The costumed figures alone the borders are copied from Van den Keere's map of 1614. The map depicts Tasman's second voyage to the north coast of Australia, Le Maire's voyage to New Guinea, and Vries's 1643 to north Japan. -- Dealer's description., t'Amsterdam by Frederick de Wit in de Kalverstraet in de Witte Paskaert., The map of Asia well decorated.
