This is the second state of the map

This map by Homann was done "primarily to encourage Germans to come to America. . ." to reinforce this the cartouche was designed accordingly. The cartouche depicts "well-dressed settler pictured at the top is surrounded by trunks, barrels, gold, exotic fruits, and natives bearing gifts. In the lower background are a tobacco farm indicative of highly profitable tobacco trade and a shed for drying cod. . .this illustration suggested that America was the land of wealth and opportunity" (Pritchard and Taliaferro), Pritchard and Taliaferro 17
