The present example is the first state of Visscher's map, pre-dating the removal of the ships in the Ocean (2nd state, 1670) and pre-dating the addition of Visscher's privilege in the lower right corner (3rd state, 1677). The map includes a dedication cartouche to Nicolas Witsen, the Mayor of Amsterdam and driving force behind many voyages of commerce and discovery at the time. The majority of the cartographic details derive from Visscher's map derives from Joan Blaeu's wall map of the world, published in 1648. California appears in the Briggs model, unlike later copies of the map by DeWit and others, who used the Sanson Model. The map includes California as an Island, one massive open ended Great Lake, conjectural Northwest Passage, Straits on Anian, and rich illustration in the interior of North And South America, along with nearly a dozen ships at se and two rich cartouches. Visscher's map became the proto-type map for Dutch maps of America for the next 50 years.
