    Showing the western hemisphere with a pronounced depiction of California shown as an island, this map is the first instance of a Hungarian language map for the continents. Shows a primitive understanding of the continents with some regional boundaries to show colonies. Notes some speculative islands in the Pacific. A large cartouche in the lower left shows a native in headdress, and what appears to be a peacock.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 12.75 x 14.5 (inches)
