Description
This map is historically very relevant: For more than 50 years, Visscher's map became the proto-type map for Dutch maps of America. Not only California as an Island, but also one large, open ended Great Lake, the hypothesised Northwest Passage, the Straits on Anian, and illustration in the interior of North and South America, as well as nearly a dozen ships at sea and two rich cartouches render this map particularly desirable.
Note that California is depicted according to the Briggs model, whilst copies of the map by DeWit and others used the Sanson Model. Most of the details delineated derive from Joan Blaeu's wall map of the world, published in 1648.
The map includes also a dedication cartouche to Nicolas Witsen, the Mayor of Amsterdam, who enabled many voyages of commerce and discovery at the time. Note the nice original colors. Burden records two different states of the map:
State 1: 1658. No privilege. State 2: circa 1677: Privilege added at centre right. This copy is the rare first state.
