  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.

  Visual Materials

  Kashnor notes, "The western coast of America goes no further north than Cape Blanc, but California is a peninsula, although the gulf is very incorrectly represented. New Guinea appears as part of Australia. The route of Tasmon's voyage in 1642 is shown. This is one of Delisle's earlier maps, which show California as a peninsula." This is a copy of L'Isle's 1700 map (093:180) with added border art, redone cartouche, the tip of South America corrected, the Solomon Islands moved. Compare with 093:181M which Kashnor dated as [1720]. This map has a more correctly drawn California peninsula. Frisland is no longer shown below Greenland on this map. RLIN record gives appeared in information. Cartouche - figures representing four continents. Royal crest center. . Prime meridian: Ferro. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Dual Hemisphere. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Other Features: CartoucheSub-maps. References: Shirley 603 (mentioned). Verso Text: MS notes: 181.
