This is similar to State 2 as defined by Burden (223) -- there is no sailor with cross staff as described by Burden. A landmark map, first sea chart of America in Mercator Projection. Shields of the major European powers are on the corresponding countries and/or colonies overseas. Largest sheet of vellum then available. See 268067 for a derivative map. Relief: no. Projection: Mercator. Printing Process: Engraving.
