From the box base: 
Pieter van den Keere (c. 1571-c. 1645) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who came to England as a Protestant refugee. Settling in Amsterdam in 1593, he continued to work and began engraving a series of miniature county maps for the British Isles Atlas in 1599. His works also include a map of Ireland, urban panoramas of Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as a collection of world maps Van den Keere's work here was actually based on a1594 world map by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622). Plancius was a notable figure of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

After the fiasco of the 2K Jumbo puzzle with missing pieces, this made a pleasant remedy. Edges and top and bottom colourful scenes were completed first, followed by the yellow circular lines. That left the two maps themselves to assemble. Finished yesterday evening.
After completion I did a double-check to make sure we'd not done this one before (they all look the same to me!). Sure enough, we've made this image although not this particular version. In my wooden puzzle stash I have a Nautilus purchased last year through eBay...
