The printed index on the reverse of the title of the first volume mentions only 102 maps; in this copy the number of maps has been augmented to no less than 311, all contemporary maps of the 17th century taken from Blaeu, Visscher, Janssonius, Allard, etc. All the maps are blank on the verso, a circumstance which proves that this collection has been made from separately printed maps. The copy is very interesting for the American collector; it contains no less than 6 different mappemunds, amongst which the rare map by C. Visscher (1652), with the views of Mexico, Havana, Pernambuco, Todos los Santos and 3 types of American Aborigines. 2 maps of the Arctic Pole with Greenland, Labrador etc. 7 general maps of America, amongst which that by N. J. Visscher 1636, with the portraits of Columbus, Am. Vespuccius, Magellan, Drake, Candish and O. v. Noordt, the views of Havana, Mexico, Pomeiooc, Urbs Virginiana, Carolina in Florida, Phernambuco, Carthagena, etc.
