The famous Dutch publisher and mapmaker Pieter Van der Aa (1659 Leiden - 1733 Leiden) published during the period 1682-1733, an enormous quantity of printed matter (Koeman). This map was actually published in the first edition of his travelbooks Naauwkeurige versameling der gedenk-waardigste zee en landreysen na Oost en West-Indien, in Leiden 1706-08. A strong impression, on the full sheet as published. The map was originally folded in this series, so that old folds are more or less visible.
