Copper-engraved map, hand-colored in outline and wash (original or contemporary); colored cartouche. 48.8x57.5 cm. (19¼x22¾").

Well-engraved, attractive, and significant map of North and South America, with bright contemporary, or possibly original, hand coloring. As McLaughlin notes, the map is "a revised version of Visscher's map of 1670, with changed shape of California [i.e., indented northern coast] and partially reversed title cartouche (chief under umbrella now to left of text). Visscher's dedication cartouche (upper left) now has reversed figures and contains descriptive text on America. Zelandia Nova is not present. Two ships are added in Oceanus Peruvianus." This is the first state of the map - the 1680 second state had the ships removed, and some changes in the geography. Leighly 58; McLaughlin 49-1; Portinaro Pl.
