The interior of the continent is blank, with only a few place names noted along the coasts. The Prime Meridian runs through the Azores Islands. Decorated with three half compass roses, rhumb lines, and a decorative title cartouche. Engraved by Merian after Willem Blaeu's similar chart, and published in Johann Angel von Werdenhagen’s De Rebus Publicis Hanseaticis.
