= Van der Heijden 64, the 2nd state (of 3); Koeman/ Van der Krogt 3000:2.2. Very nice map, originally published in 1608 with figured borders. Used in the Atlas of 1630 and subsequent editions in second and third state, without these borders (except for the narrow ornamental border at the bottom). The cartouche in the lower right corner reads "Ghedruckt t'Amsterdam, bij Willem Blaeu op't Water inde vergulde Zonnewyser". "Lest he should be confused with his formidable rival Johannes Janssonius, it was probably in the course of 1640 that Willem Jansz. changed his signature on the general map of the Netherlands into Willem Blaeu." (Van der Heijden).
- Waterstained in lower part; lower margin cut just outside the border line; sm. tear in upper edge just affecting the image; a few closed tears in lower margin.
= Van der Heijden/ Blonk 18: 3rd state (of 7). Provenance: the collection A.M. van den Broek.
- Sl. yellowed in lower right corner.
= Van der Heijden/ Blonk 43, 3rd state (of 4). Fine, decorative map. It is a very faithful copy of the map published by Jaillot, with only a few changes, the most interesting being the change of situation in the sea battles: the burning and sinking Dutch ship present on the French version has now completely floundered and disappeared, and its French opponent is in dear trouble and perishing.
