- Roundel map of the Low Countries, in the form of the Leo Belgicus, giving the region the shape of a lion. One of a series of five small roundel maps by Kip and Woutneel, executed ca. 1602. The other four comprise a world map, and maps of Europe, France, and England & Wales. All five are copies of maps first executed by Jodocus Hondius in 1593. Kip's engravings vary in some details, such as lettering, the pictorial handling of sea areas, and depictions of ships and sea monsters.
