The map uses a Mercator projection, which is common for nautical charts due to its suitability for showing rhumb lines. The hand-illustrated watercolor painting in yellow, sepia, and green tones emphasizes its aesthetic appeal and detailed execution. The style is typical of Enlightenment-era cartography, characterized by precision and decorative elements. In the lower left corner is an elaborate Rococo cartouche, adorned with maritime motifs such as shells and sea creatures, giving the scientifically accurate map an artistic touch. The map offers a comprehensive overview of Cuba with its cities, towns, estates, royal roads, rivers, bays, harbors, and anchorages. The administrative areas are marked by dashed lines, reflecting the political landscape of the time. The scale is given in French, English, and American nautical miles.\u003cbr\u003eWe try to display the colors of our items as accurately as possible.

It was created by the famous Amsterdam cartographer Johannes van Keulen and depicts the North Sea coast of the Netherlands and parts of Northern Germany. The West Frisian Islands such as Texel and Ameland are clearly visible. Important information for seafarers, such as water depths and sandbanks, was meticulously recorded here. The characteristic grid of straight lines covering the map was used for course plotting at sea. In addition to its practical use, the map is also an impressive work of art. Particularly striking are the two large, richly decorated cartouches presenting the title and the manufacturer. They are richly adorned with mythological figures such as sea gods and angels. Small drawings of ships further animate the depiction of the sea. The work is thus a typical example of highly developed Dutch cartography, which combined science and art at the highest level.\u003cbr\u003eWe try to represent the colours of our items as accurately as possible.
