It looks original to me. This image came from a dealer site and the lettering in the lower left is a photoshop style watermark reading www.sanderusmaps.com.

There are some indications that it might not be an original map, but others that seem to confirm that it is. The wide, even platemark is a typical feature of a modern photographic reproduction. And is it possible to see, faintly, at the top, the mark of a real platemark close in? What is the lettering, [something].com, lower left? Yet the map appears to have been mounted on a central guard (see the slight discolouration from the glue), which would suggest it is genuine. The brown stains also indicate a certain age. Does the map have pre-1800 chain lines? It is certainly puzzling. Perhaps one of our Dutch colleagues will identify it for you.
