This William Blaeu engraving, with original hand coloring, focuses on the West Indies but extends from the Carolinas through the northern coats of South America. This map is based on the 1631 work of Hessel Gerritz who charted the region during his 1628 voyage with the Dutch East India Company. While Gerritz work was highly detailed, Blaeu added Virginia and the west coast of Central America. A dedication cartouche to alberto Conradi Vander Burch is featured.
