"De Gelegentheyt van t'Paradys ende t'Landt Canaan, Mitsgaders de eerst Bewoonde Landen...", Visscher, Claes Janszoon

Superb Dutch Bible map covering the region between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, featuring the Garden of Eden located near the city of Babel. The strapwork title cartouche is flanked by scenes of Eve offering Adam the apple and the expulsion from paradise. In the sea beneath Cyprus is a scene of Jonah and the whale. A lovely, decorative map with the scale of miles featuring a figure of an old fisherman (the mark of Visscher). Dutch text on verso. This is the second state with a giant rabbit replacing the lion to Adam's left, and the publication date changed to 1650.
