Note:
Hand colored in outline map of the world on Mercator's projection. surrounding the map include twelve Roman emperors at the top and bottom, with six groups of national figures and eight vignettes of principal cities at the sides, in the corners are female allegorical representations of the continents: Europa, Asia, America and Africa. Map showing discoveries around the Hudson Bay and the course of the St. Lawrence river. River extending to a small lake in the middle of North America. Tierra del Fuego is shown as a distinct landmass. The Straits of le Maire and Magellan, with the massive Magellanica Sive Terra Australis Incognita, California Coastline appears, heading north toward the Straits of Annian. Decorative cartouche in the upper left tells of the discovery of America by Columbus. Also showing cities and towns, vignettes of ships and sea monsters, rivers, lakes and mountains. Relief shown pictorially. The error of the date of 1592 for the discovery of America by Columbas indicates that this is a very early state of the map, perhaps the first.

Pub Note:
Seventeenth century atlas of the World by Nicholas Visscher. With Engraved allegorical title page, on sheet 51x31, printed in full color, followed by letterpress half title page. Consists of 127 engraved maps, hand-colored in outline and full, with elegant title cartouche. Visscher is well-known for the depth of accuracy within his maps, and for embellishing the maps' beauty further with small detailing. This work is known for the high quality of engraving, exceptionally fine ornament, and accurate geographical information. His true innovation lies in his rendering of the New World, where he added small variations to the still widely unknown North American coastlines. About 1690 Visscher retouched the old plate of N.J. Visscher, by adding the city of Philadelphia and the name of the state Pennsylvania. Majority of the maps are published by Visscher with additional maps by several other mapmakers. The Atlas Minor is a fine and comprehensive composite atlas, and one of a series of large atlases compiled and sold by the Visscher family of art dealers and cartographers in the 17th century.
