Description
Nederlands: Kaart van Midden-Amerika en het Caribisch gebied.

Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali ac Regiones Adiacentes, a C. de May usque ad Lineam AEquinoctialem.

Deze kaart van Midden-Amerika werd gepubliceerd door Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1708). Het kaartbeeld is vermoedelijk gebaseerd op oudere kaarten die aan het begin van de 17de eeuw in Amsterdam waren uitgegeven. Pas aan het einde van de 17de eeuw onderging dit kaartbeeld onder invloed van de Franse kartografen grote veranderingen.

Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 185 B 14 deel II, na p. 172.
English: Map of Central America and the Caribbean region. -Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali ac Regiones Adiacentes, a C. de May usque ad Lineam AEquinoctialem. This map of Central America was published by Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1708). The map orientation could be based on older maps that were published in Amsterdam at the beginning of the 17th century. It was only at the end of the 17th century that this map orientation underwent major changes, due to the influence of French cartographers. Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, inv. nr. 185 B 14 part II, after p.172.
