Wereld - World; naar Danckerts - Nova Orbis Terraquei Tabula Accuratissime Delineata. - c. 1685

Condition: good, with some browning. The margins have been reinforced with old paper.

A very rare, small world map, cartographically comparable to the Danckerts map of 1685, with the addition of a coastline to the great Terra Magellanica Australis at the South Pole. California is shown as an island, and in Asia the discoveries of the De Vries voyage appear in the waters north of Japan with a large land of Yupia connected to Japan and the Terra Esonis or Societatis Terra shown. The discoveries of Tasman are displayed in New Zealand, shown as Zelandia Nova. A portion of the coastline of Australia is shown, known as Nova Hollandia Terra Concordia.
