    A fine engraving of the world, full of rhumb lines, and the latest information and speculation about the globe. While Europe and Africa are reasonably outlined, Asia, and North America are not shown entirely, nor is there a Australian continent at all recognized. A massive South Polar continent is labeled "Terra Incognita" with som placenames identified near the tip of South America. North America is a mishapen mass, without Great Lakes or a Saint Lawrence river or a hint of an inlet. A small and attractive map.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 4.25 x 5.5 (inches) on a sheet with text that measures 11.5 x 8 (inches) overall.
