This is the second state of Doncker's map, first published in 1678 in his 'Zee-Atlas', which makes one improvement on the first state: it depicts the Grand Bank as much larger and indicates depth soundings. (Kershaw Pl. 114)
The map, like the majority of Dutch maps of the Canadian maritimes of the era, is nearly exactly copied from Van Loon's map. Van Loon in turn relied heavily on earlier Dutch sources, including Gerritz and Blaeu, which accounts for the shape of Newfoundland and Cape Breton. The omission of Prince Edward Island is due to a heavy reliance on Champlain's maps of the Canadian mainland, which did not depict the island. , Kershaw Entry 180 & 183 and Plate 114
