Important world map on Mercator's projection by Willem Blaeu, one of the finest and most beautiful examples of cartography produced during the Golden Age of Dutch mapmaking.

The map was reduced to one sheet by the engraver Josua van de Ende from Blaeu's twenty-one sheet double-hemisphere 1606 world map, of which there is only one surviving copy. Van de Ende's signature can be seen to the left of the southern polar projection at lower right. The map was very successful and continued to be published in all Blaeu atlases until 1662.
