A map by Nicolas Visscher of the kingdom of England and Wales, and sold by John Overton, is dedicated to King James II, who was deposed in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution and replaced by William III. The atlas primarily includes Visscher maps, two maps by Frederik de Wit, one by Sanson d'Abbeville and Nicolas Visscher's father's map of the Holy Land dated 1659.
