Although the latest date found on the maps is 1671, this atlas is dated as after 1677 because 10 maps include the phrase "Cum Privilegio" which Visscher could only use after he had gained the privilegio for publishing maps in 1677.
Earlier versions of the atlas contained fewer maps.
Maps include works by Moses Pitt, Jan Jansson, F. de Wit, Michael Floris van Langren, Cornelius Pijnacker, Johannes Wilhelm Lauremberg and Johannes van Loon as well as Nicolaes Visscher; engravers include Abraham Goos, Abraham van den Broeck, Everard Hamersveldt & Salomon Rogier, and Nicholas Ten-Have.
