Kashnor notes, "Shows the west coast from "Fretum Anian" to the Straits of Magellan, New Guinea, and the Pacific Islands as far as they were then discovered. A very valuable and rare map of the west coast, showing California as an island, and locating P. Sir Francis Drake, Monte Rey, R. S. Barbara, ans P. S. Diego." McLaughlin identifies this as State 2 of this map. Kashnor dates as ca. 1680. Original map issued 1675 per McLaughlin, in Atlas maritimus. Map trimmed to neatline so is missing engraver attribution.

Kashnor notes,"A very interesting map. California appears as an island, with 'Fretum Anian' at the north, 'Terra Incognita' beyond. A chain of islands stretches across the South Pacific, with note, 'Insulas eße a nova Guinea usque ad Fretum Magellanicum, affirmat Hernandus Galego, qui ad eas explorandas missus fuit a Rege Hispaniae, Anno 1576.' It is a rare specimen of the early type of decorative map." McLaughlin identifies this as State 2, provides appeared in and place of production information. Discussion of California confirms island form from Spanish map captured by the Dutch and presents two differing opinions as to its length. See 105:225M for a later map based on this map. Cartouche with Asian figures. Prime meridian: Ferro. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles, German. Projection: Mercator. Printing Process: Copper engraving. References: McLaughlin 11; Phillips 465; Wagner 359; Tooley 10 (Plate 30); Leighly 18; Koeman II, Me 164(10). Verso Text: Cat. 105 249 S11.
