Description
Elegant double hemisphere map of the world, containing may early cartographic myths and errors. No Antarctic is shown. Australia still ahs a curious incomplete coastline. The coastline of New Zealand is similarly inaccurate. The NW Coast of America reflects the recent discoveries of Vancouver and La Perouse, but still predates Lewis & Clark's arrival. The Coastline of Alaska is highly inaccurate and the NW passage is still undiscovered. Hawaii is recently discovered, although only Owhyee I and Atooi are shown. A nice early world map in attractive outline color.
