HIGHLY DECORATIVE AND INFLUENTIAL WORLD MAP SHOWING CALIFORNIA AS AN ISLAND, Visscher's map was the 'master forerunner' of a number of Dutch world maps that followed. Cartographically, the map is largely based on Joan Blaeu's 1648 grand wallmap of the world. The hemispheres are surrounded by mythological scenes that were drawn by the Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem and depict Zeus and Neptune in chariots, the rape of Persephone and Demeter receiving the fruits of the earth.
