Carta geografica incisa in rame (cm. 48,6x57 e margini) con bellissima colorazione coeva. Bella carta geografica raffigurante l'America Settentrionale e quella Meridionale, interessante è l'introduzione di alcuni elementi quali: la California raffigurata come isola, i Grandi Laghi lo Stretto di Anian e nella parte meridionale i territori del Quiri Regio, le isole Salmon, la Nuova Guinea. In De Witt si combinano magistralmente la precisione geografica e il dettaglio artistico. Gli Olandesi apprezzavano molto anche il fattore estetico e l'incantevole gusto decorativo fu un ulteriore elemento di successo. Dopo la morte di De Wit e di suo figlio, le lastre vennero acquistate da Louis Renard, che le diede di nuovo alle stampe con un suo testo. Reiner e Josua Ottens ristamparono l'atlante di Renard nel 1739 con testo in francese e di nuovo nel 1745 con testo in olandese e i loro nomi incise sulle lastre per la prima volta. Bella e rara carta geografica, con mancanza in parte dell'America settentrionale (restaurata) e precisamente nella sezione pigmentata in verde, dove l'acidità del colore naturale ha creato dei sollevamenti e delle crepe.. .

This volume (seventh) of the serie (Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden) is rare and map which it includes rare as well. Could not be found any copy of this volume in OCLC.
