  • Beautifully engraved map on a north polar projection showing the first
    circumnavigation of the world by Magellan's ship, Victoria. Along the voyage track are
    various dates, showing the ship's progress. California is an island. The coastlines of
    New Guinea and Oceania are only vaguely understood, with Australia's Carpentaria
    Bay attached to New Guinea, and an indistinct New Zealand. Includes a pronounced
    depiction of California as an island.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 9.25 x 14 (inches).
