Description: 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.
