This is an extraordinary puzzle by Schmidt. The title is Historic Map of the World, and it is very difficult to find in new condition, like this one. Although there is no reference to the cartographer in the box, the author is Willem Blaeu.
The puzzle is like NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bag. The box is in good condition, with some wear and scuffs on corners and edges, and two tears on two corners of the lid, as you can see in the photographs.
In 1994 Ravensburger produced a 3000 piece version of this same map with the title World Map, 1665.
