At the time the 'World Map' was published, the entire world was not yet explored and known. For example, California was depicted as an island, Australia was still partly undiscovered, and it was labeled as 'New Holland'! Just the world map alone is immensely fascinating!

A must-have for collectors of state Bibles!
