Third edition of this atlas of the Low Countries, first published by [Johanna] Wedue de Josua Ottens in about 1770, and then reprinted under this title by Elwe and Langeveld in 1785, with this edition appearing in 1786. The Ottens atlas contained only the series of Low Country maps, while Elwe and Langeveld’s version inserted Krevelt’s maps of the world and four continents: Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

The atlas is preceded by a general geographical introduction, followed by a description of the different parts of the Netherlands.

Reference: Koeman, E & L 2, recording only the Library of Congress example of this edition, and Ott 10: the first appearances of the Low Countries maps.
