= Shirley 486. This rare and highly sought after decorative map features i.a. California as an island. The map is geographically based on the elder Visscher's map of 1658. The exact date of its first appearance is uncertain. But according to Shirley it was probably produced by Nicolas Visscher II after his father's death in 1679. This is the second state with "cum Privilegio Ordin: General: Belgii Foederati" printed below the title, probably from Van Keulen's 1695 atlas. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXII.

Encircling the hemispheres are markings of the winds and climates, and set around the border are no less than twenty-six smaller astronomical diagrams and hemispheres of the world according to different projections. In addition there are two larger celestial hemispheres and, at the bottom, a panorama illustrating tempests, earthquakes, tides, vortices, etc. Below there is textual commentary on the natural phenomena depicted."
