Prof. Rubin,
When I acquired a copy of the Amsterdam Haggadah, interestingly the image of
the woman on the crocodile struck me as familiar.
I find an exact copy of that image on the title page of the Mercator Hondius
Atlas.
See the image at the following link.

Perhaps others on the list can trace back the source of the image that Hondius
used.
Regards and shana tova,
Ron Hekier
