- Notes:
- "The full views are engraved by T. Doesburgh and the costume views are by A. Meijer."--Stokes.
The descriptive table of plates, in Latin and Dutch, pages [3]-[13], is signed: Ludolph Smids, M.D., Groningensis.
"Since almost three-fourths of the plates bear the 'cum privilegio' it seems likely that the work was issued before the expiration of the privilege in 1698, rather than afterwards."--List of geographical atlases in the Library of Congress.
The added engraved title page and 100 views are printed across facing leaves, folded at the inner margin.
