Description

Decorative double hemisphere map of the World, showing the Sea of the West, Northwest Passage, fanciful Northwest Coast of America and a host of other cartographic anomalies and myths.

Only a portion of the New Zealand Coastline is shown. Early inaccurate treatment of the Australian Coastline. No sign of Antarctic Coastline. An interesting look at the mapping of the World, on the eve of the wide spread dissemination of the results of the voyages of Cook, La Perouse and Vancouver, which would significantly reshape the world's landscape.
