Although the 1665 year in the cartouche of that card, it appears from archive Research the card until 1666 was completed (see documentation). This card consists of (from top to bottom): - (printed first state of two plates, plates were then halved Where: by second state is printed from four plates) a face on the west side of the Meuse; - a map of the Maas estuary (printed from four plates) with left and right five prints relating to the postal service (probably printed ten sheets, possibly earlier pushed lower plates cut later); - a view of the north side of the river Maas (first is printed on two sheets, plates were then cut in half allowing second condition is printed from four plates); - (possibly) an explanation of the card printing. This map was originally published by Jacob Quack. After he died, the card (and / or component parts thereof) probably issued several times in 1668. Of the three editions of the map of the Maas estuary are certainly known - published by Jacob Quack (his name remains on later editions), 1666; - published by John Houwens (I), probably in 1698 or perhaps even earlier; - an anonymous publication, published after the publication of Jan Houwens (I) (his name is on the card section visible
