Kashnor notes, "The western coast of America goes no further north than Cape Blanc, but California is a peninsula, although the gulf is very incorrectly represented. New Guinea appears as part of Australia. The route of Tasmon's voyage in 1642 is shown. This is one of Delisle's earlier maps, which show California as a peninsula." This is a copy of L'Isle's 1700 map (093:180) with added border art, redone cartouche, the tip of South America corrected, the Solomon Islands moved. Compare with 093:181M which Kashnor dated as [1720]. This map has a more correctly drawn California peninsula. Frisland is no longer shown below Greenland on this map.
