Title

Algemeene Wereldtkaart van den Aardkloot.

World map in two hemispheres, decorated with a title loop at the top and allegorical representations of the continents at the bottom. California is depicted as an island, Terre de Iesso stretches between Asia and North America, there is a piece of Nouvelle Zeelande adjoining the coastline of the mythical Terre Magellanique, and Australia is only partially mapped. The cartography is based on Nicolas Sanson, mentioned in the title, and was engraved by Anthony d'Winter. It was published in the Dutch edition of Jans Luyts' Geography, edited by Francis Halma.
