Incisione in rame (mm. 497x570) su doppio foglio con bellissima colorazione coeva, verso velato da finissimo foglio di carta Giappone. Bella e rara carta nautica -tratta dal celebre atlante di De Witt ''Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas"- che raffigura l'Oceano Pacifico, la California, il Giappone, la Nuova Guinea e la Nuova Zelanda. La particolarità di questa carta è la rappresentazione della California come isola, a testimonianza della differente concezione geografica nel 1600 rispetto ad oggi. Inoltre, rispetto ad altre mappe del Mar del Zur (Oceano Pacifico), questo esemplare si estende ad Ovest della costa californiana fino al Giappone. In basso a destra un grande e decorativo cartiglio raffigurante Nettuno su un carro sovrastato dal ritratto di Magellano entro medaglione. L'abile rinforzo con carta Giappone evita il deperimento da acidità ai verdi e marroni; quindi l'esemplare si presenta in ottimo stato, anche grazie alla splendida coloritura del cartiglio. "Frederick de Wit deve essere considerato uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della seconda metà del XVII secolo. La maggior parte delle sue mappe sono di ottima qualità, sono caratterizzate da un'incisione chiara e bella, dall'attualità e ricchezza dell'immagine cartografica nonché dall'equilibrio delle decorazioni cartografiche".
