11.2 x 30.5. Decorative cartouche surrounding a note on America showing the

This map is a revised copy of a map drawn by Nicholas Visscher circa 1670. It shows North and South America, indicating the inhabited areas and the territoires of the different native peoples. California appears as an island and Hudson Bay is given a strange configuration. De Wit first published this map with minor variations circa 1670. He also published several other variants circa 1680: one bears exactly the same title as the map described, however, it does not hold "cum privilegio..." The privilege referred to was granted to De Wit in 1688 or 1689 and De Wit probably simply added it to the plate he had made in 1680.
