Map showing the discoveries of 'de Arnhem' in Australia.

The plate is taken from the Blaeu-Van der Hem Atlas.

The map was drawn in 1623 by the crew of 'de Arnhem' on an exploratory voyage to the unknown Zuidland (South Land). The map was copied between 1665 and 1668, probably in the studio of Johannes Vingboons.
