Rare map of the Seventeen Provinces

To the left of the map is an elaborate title cartouche surrounded by naval scenes and flanked by cherubs. Above this is the title within a banderole, together with three cherubs, holding aloft the coats-of-arms of the seventeen provinces of the Spanish Netherlands. Below the cartouche is a diagram of phases of the moon, together with an explanation upon finding your time at sea, using the diagram.

Of the two institutional examples — the Ghent University bares a dedication and portrait of Maximillian Emanuel II, who was the last governor of the Spanish Netherlands from 1692 to 1709.
