Map of Greenland and environs, with islands, sounds, inlets, etc. marked and labeled; at far right is a landmass labeled "WICHES LAND". Map was printed on two seperate pages but these have been joined together such that it forms a complete whole. Some of the islands appear to be labeled with dates -- "1616", "1617", and "1613", but the numeral "6" is reversed in all of them, perhaps indicating the work of an inexperienced engraver. Decorative spouting whale and ship in the water. Map is surrounded by 11 vignettes with captions, and labeled "page 80[2?]". Vignettes show, from top right clockwise:
a walrus (caption: "The Seamorce is in quantity as bigg [sic] as an oxe");
two whaleboats pulling a whale towards a ship ("When the Whale is killed he is in this mann [er?] towed to the Shipps [sic] by two or thre ["e" has a macron atop, indicating a long ee sound] shallops made fast to one another.")
a shore with a whaleboat approaching it, and many men, a vat giving off smoke, and a crane-like device upon it ("The peeces [sic] of blubber are towed to the shore side by a shallop and drawne[sic] on shore by a crane or caried [sic] by two menn [sic] on a barrowe [sic] to ye two cutters wch [which, abbreviation] cutts [sic] them the breadth of a trencher and very thine[sic, n has a macron] & by two boys are caried [sic] wth hand hooks to ye choppers");
