The map "Orbis Terrarum Typus De Integro In Plurimis Emendatus Auctus et Icunculis Illustratus," was created by Nicolaes Visscher I in 1657. Nicolaes Visscher I was a renowned Dutch cartographer and engraver who produced various maps during the 17th century.

"Orbis Terrarum Typus De Integro In Plurimis Emendatus Auctus et Icunculis Illustratus" translates to "A completely improved and expanded map of the world, embellished with numerous illustrations." This suggests that the map was intended to provide an accurate representation of the world at that time, with various updates and additions compared to earlier maps. It likely includes detailed geographical information and may feature visual elements, such as illustrations of ships, sea creatures, or other decorative elements.

Nicolaes Visscher I (also spelled Claes Visscher) was a prominent Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher who lived from 1618 to 1679. He was a member of a renowned family of mapmakers and played a significant role in the Amsterdam map publishing industry during the 17th century.

Nicolaes Visscher I was known for his skills in engraving and producing high-quality maps, atlases, and globes. He created numerous maps of various regions, including maps of Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. His maps were highly regarded for their decorative elements, artistic details, and accurate geographical information.

Visscher's maps often featured elaborate cartouches, decorative borders, and illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements. His works were sought after by collectors and map enthusiasts of his time, and they continue to be appreciated for their historical and artistic value today.

It's worth noting that Nicolaes Visscher I had several successors in his family who continued the cartographic tradition, such as his sons Nicolaes Visscher II and Peter Schenk, as well as his grandson Nicolaes Visscher III. Each member of the Visscher family made contributions to the field of cartography during their respective careers.
