Description
Nederlands: Kaart van Noord en Zuid-Amerika.

Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Americae.

Deze kaart van Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1702) is een bewerkte herdruk van een kaart die 1658 door zijn vader Nicolaas Visscher I was gepubliceerd. De kaart heeft een grote invloed gehad op de Amerika-kaarten die later in de 17de en 18de eeuw werden gepubliceerd. Vooral de oostkust van Noord-Amerika is vrij nauwkeurig gekarteerd. Dit geldt niet voor de Amerikaanse westkust, waarop Californië is afgebeeld als een eiland.

Op de kaart zijn verschillende kleine illustraties te zien, zoals in Zuid-Amerika oorlog en een figuur in een hangmat.

Linksonder is Nieuw-Zeeland voor een deel ingetekend.

Linksboven een opdracht aan Cornelius Witsen, met wapenschild en helm, gedragen door vier engelen.

Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 185 B 14 deel I, voor p. 1 en Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, inv. nr. NG-501-89.
English: Map of North and South America. -Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Americae.

This map by Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1702) is an amended reprint of a chart that was published in 1658 by his father Nicolaas Visscher I. The map exerted a great influence on the maps of America that were published later in the 17th and 18th centures. The East Coast of North America in particular has been charted fairly accurately. This does not apply to the American West Coast however, where California is shown as an island.

The chart features several small illustrations, such as in South America a war and a figure in a hammock.

At bottom left a partial sketch of New Zealand.

Top left a dedication to Cornelius Witsen, with a coat of arms and helmet, carried by four angels. -Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, inv. nr. 185 B 14 part I, before p. 1 and Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, inv. nr. NG-501-89.
