Islands (not engraved to scale, apparently) include from west to east: Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, los Rocques, las Aves, la Orchilla, Tortuga, la Blanquilla, Margarita, Grenada, Trinidad, Tobago, , St. Vincent , St. Lucia, Martinique, and Dominica. Geographic coverage includes the Gulf of Paria, Nuestra Senora de los Remedios, Provincia de los Caracas, Nueva Valencia, Portilla de Carara, Maracapana, Nuestra Senora de Carvalleda, St. Iago de Leon, Nueva Segovia, and the settlement of St. Thomas along the lower Orinoco River. Cartographic elements include mountains, forests, locations of settlements, bays, and rivers, degrees of latitude and longitude, two compass roses oriented with North at top of plate, and numerous topographical details. Decorative elements include birds, ship, sheep, angels, and monkeys. With two decorative scrollwork cartouches. This map is one of five maps of South America in Blaeu's atlas which are taken from other Dutch sources. The plates for this map were orignally made by the younger Jodocus Hondius sometime before his death in 1629. Hondius' plates were bought by Willem Janszoon Blaeu who replaced Hondius' name with his own. Single vertical fold, as issued.
