It is noted for the fact that its primary source is the first manuscript map of Adrian Block, 1614. Indeed it is the first full representation of it in print. It is one of the earliest to name Nieu Amsterdam..." Schwartz & Ehrenberg describe this as "one of the earliest large-scale maps to including the part of North America settled by Dutch. First printed map that depicted canoes and North American fauna. Lake Champlain (Lacus Irocoisiensis) shown incorrectly, as in other maps of the period..." German text on verso.
