Seven sailing ships grace the ocean, pursued by three sea monsters. This the third state of the Hondius map which first appeared in 1618 with the imprint of Jodocus Hondius, of which state there are only three known copies. The present state is dated 1631, and the imprint has been changed to "Auct: Henrico Hondio." French text on verso, with signature mark, indicating it was issued in the 1639 (or later) edition of Nouvel Atlas.
