The inclusion of the arms of both Granada and Murcia adds a sense of historical significance to the map, while the figure of the surveyor and the naval combat scene underscores the importance of cartography and military power in the exploration and colonization of new territories. The map is also adorned with colorful engravings of boats and other maritime craft, further emphasizing the Mediterranean's role as a major hub of trade and transportation during this time. This map was produced by Willem Janszoon Blaeu, a prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
