The English short title catalogue notes that there are two maps despite the evidence on the title page. The only other known holding in the British Library (as indexed in the Early English books online database) lacks a title page and includes a folded map in German with title "Die Stat Olinda de Phernambvco welche dvrch die Hollender im februari 1630" engraved by Erobert Worden. The map entitled "Pascaert van de ghelegentheyt van Parnambuc" appeared in Veroveringh van de stadt Olinda, gelegen in de Capitania van Phernambuco, as printed in Amsterdam by Hessel Gerrtisz in 1630, was apparently appended to the Dutch edition of the pamphlet and may not have been issued with the English edition of this work.

Folded map bound to follow title page is titled: Pascaert van de ghelegentheyt van Parnambuc betrocken door Hessel Gerritsz.
