Visscher acquired the plates for 35 landscape prints from the estate of Jan van de Velde II in 1641. For the intended publication he designed a title page, in which he incorporated his trademark: a fisherman presents a sketchbook with landscapes that Van de Velde had dawn from life (in situ) – a rare occurrence at the time. Another depiction was ultimately used as the title page.
