Kashnor notes, "Shows the Gulf of California only reaching as high as the Bona Guia, but without the definite termination; also shows New Holland and part of New Zealand, with the tracks of Mendana, Dampier, Olivier, Tasman, Pelsart, Magellan and le Maire." This appears to be a later state of the 1700 map, see 093:180. The slant of South America has been corrected eastward, some new names appear on the west coast of Africa, and a new mountain range in Siberia. Image is lighter than 1700 original. See also 093:181, 105:244 and 105:245 for later editions. Cartouche - figures representing four continents. Prime meridian: Ferro. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Dual Hemisphere.
