A depiction of a historic map of the American continent, originally drawn in 1608 by the Dutch cartographer Willem (1571-1638), and subsequently revised by his son in 1650 to include recent discoveries. An Australian continent is now shown but its position is not yet correct.

The puzzle is cut in a basic rectangular style and some internal pieces have straight edges. It comes in a lift-off lidded box.
