Title: Nuova Carta Del Polo Artico

Map Maker: Isaak Tirion

Description:

Rare late edition of Tirion's map of the Northern Hemisphere and North Pole, which shows the Northeast Passage, but no definite Northwest Passage.

California is shown as an Island, along with the River systems of North America. Nice detail in the Polar regions, especially New Denmark and Greenland and in Asia and Europe. A scarce Italian example of this decorative map.
