"The full views are engraved by T. Doesburgh and the costume views are by A. Meijer."--Stokes.The descriptive table of plates, in Latin and Dutch, pages [3]-[13], is signed: Ludolph Smids, M.D., Groningensis."Since almost three-fourths of the plates bear the 'cum privilegio' it seems likely that the work was issued before the expiration of the privilege in 1698, rather than afterwards."--List of geographical atlases in the Library of Congress.The added engraved title page and 100 views are printed across facing leaves, folded at the inner margin.List of geographical atlases in the Library of Congress, 5385Stokes, I.N.P.
