Description
The left side showing the Americas has the southern extension of South America as an insert in Brazil. On vellum. Note the erroneous date "1608" is penciled in. This is similar to State 2 as defined by Burden (223) -- there is no sailor with cross staff as described by Burden. A landmark map, first sea chart of America in Mercator Projection. Shields of the major European powers are on the corresponding countries and/or colonies overseas. Largest sheet of vellum then available. See 268067 for a derivative map. Relief: no. Projection: Mercator. Printing Process: Engraving.
