1 map : copperplate engraving on 6 sheets, hand colour. Title in the top left corner, on a banner held above the water by tritons and winged putti, and crowned with the arms of Flanders. Illustration of Neptune on his sea chariot, accompanied by Peace, who carries a large shield impaled with the arms of the Spanish Netherlands and United Provinces. The motif is completed by a banner attached to Neptune's trident, which bears the date 1648, a reference to the Treaty of Münster and the conclusion of the Eighty Years' War. Scale bar (rijnlandse roeden) at the bottom, accompanied by a fisherman holding two rods and a pair of calipers. This detail recurs in several of Visscher's maps, and is surely a pun on both his name (the Dutch for fisherman is 'visser') and the unit of measurement (roede, or rod). See also 004807865 and 004967543.
