The map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the atlases of Dutch cartographers of the middle and second half of the 17th century replaced the first map of Lithuania by Mercator. There were four issues of the map printed by different publishers from the same printing plate with only insignificant supplements made. The map was published 21 times in various atlases and in several languages between 1636 and 1690. A smaller version of the map was published during the period of 16281661 (approximately 15 issues).
