Map „Nieuwe Caerte waerinne vertoont wordt de gantsche Vaert van Amsterdam over de Watten tot de stadt Hamborch toe - Neue Karte, in der die ganze Strecke von Amsterdam über das Wattenmeer nach der Stadt Hamburg aufgezeigt wird“
The picture is divided horizontally into two individual maps. The upper map facing northwest shows the area between 's-Gravenhage in the west and Heiligerlee (not drawn) in the east and between Rottumerplaat in the north and 's-Gravenhage in the south. The lower map facing northwest shows the area between Appingedam (not drawn) in the west and Hamburg (not drawn) in the east and between Nordstrand in the north and Delmenhorst (not drawn) in the south. In the lower map, in a cartouche at the bottom right, there is a map showing the Elbe area between Kolmar and Hamburg. As no depths are marked, this is not a usable nautical chart, but an ornamental chart. On the back is an explanatory text in German: "Die gantze Fahrt von Amsterdam biß / nach Hamburg, uber die Watten."
The inscription in a cartouche is in the upper map on the left: "NIEUWE CAERTE / waerinne vertoont wordt / de gantsche Vaert van / Amsterdam over de / WATTEN tot de stadt / Hamborch toe. / Den liefhebberen enden rey= / sende luyden tot nut en vermaeck / int coper gesneden door / Ian Ianßen." In another cartouche in the upper map at the bottom right, the scale is given as "1 Milliarium Germanicum communium". It is clearly soiled, has foxing and is severely torn in several places. The reverse side is printed with writing and shows that the map was taken from a bound atlas. There are the following handwritten markings on it:
- on the lower margin of the sheet on the right in pencil: "[illegible]".
- On reverse side stamp imprint: "Stadt Emden / Archiv".
- On reverse side in ink: "207."
- On the upper right margin of the sheet in pencil: "VII / f. 20.- "
