= Hollstein (Johannes Visscher) 24 (for the borders); Shirley 406: "Nicolaas Visscher's new world map in two hemispheres can be regarded as the master forerunner of a number of highly decorative Dutch world maps produced throughout the remainder of the century. (...) The distinctive attractiveness of the later seventeenth cent. world maps is to be found in their border decorations and Visscher's is no exception. His artist Nicolaes Berchem has introduced dramatical classical scenes representing the rape of Persephone, Zeus being carried across the heavens in an eagle-drawn chariot, Poseidon commanding his entourage, and Demeter receiving the fruits of the Earth. (...) Visscher's map is to be found in several different atlases. It appears in Jansson's Novus Atlas of 1658 in both the Latin- and German-text versions and was later used, in unchanged state, in later atlases compiled by the Visscher family (...)." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCV.

= Shirley 177: "Most of the maps prepared by Plancius are uncommon, if not rare, as they were not reprinted in standard atlas form. One of his earliest productions is this world map (...) It incorporates the improvements found on the post-1587 world map of Ortelius including a reshaped South America and the insertion of the Solomon Isles. (...) Japan is shown for the first time (not entirely correctly) as one small and three larger Islands". Decorative and with rare handcolouring. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCV.

- Browned and soiled; tipped onto mount.
= Extremely rare, no other copies traced by us of this engraving. In 1537 monogrammist FG engraved the same composition but mirrored (cf. Nagler Monogrammisten, 2914, no.8), after which this engraving is almost certainly copied. FG is considered to be a German artist and this copy is probably also from the German School. The composition is based on a design for a large series of tapestries "Giouchi di Putti", commissioned by pope Leo X (for the Sala di Constantino in the Vatican) in Brussels around 1521. According to Vasari the designs are originally by Giovanni da Udine, whereby it is still unclear to what extent the designs of the series were still based on a conception by Raphael (who died in 1520). The supervision of the project in Brussels, in the tapestry atelier of Van Aelst, lay in the hands of Tomasao Vincidor, who had been part of Raphaels workshop together with Giovanni da Udine. The tapestries and the cartoons are lost, but drawings of Vincidor have survived, including the drawing on which this composition was based (now in The British Museum). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCVI.
- Left margin restored/ strengthened; other margins sl. frayed; naked upperbody of the saint later filled-in with pen and ink.
= Very delicate and rare print. Peter Overadt started business as a publisher of decorated topographical maps, filling the gap left by Frans Hogenberg's death in 1590. After 1600 he shifted towards the manufacture of religious prints with a Catholic orientation. He is sometimes identified as the engraver of anonymous sheets under his imprint.
