Visscher's world map of 1639 was influenced by Willem Janszoon Blaeu's 1606 map of the same name. This 1652 edition possibly engraved by Pieter Goos. The ornate border panels include engraved figures of Roman emperors, views of Rome, Amsterdam, Jerusalem, Tunis, Mexico, Havana, Pernambuco in Brazil, and San Salvador. Included are the allegorical figures of the four continents, and north and south polar views. Marco Polo's 'Beach' still shown as part of Magallanica sive Terra Australis Incognita. Nicolaus Johannes or Joannis Piscator was Visscher's latinised name.
