Latin text on verso. Re-issue of Jodocus Hondius' map (see NOR 0029), without the borders. Ships, flying fish, sea monsters and a mermaid riding the waves decorate the seas. "The very full geographical description of Africa is typical of the seventeenth century, and is similar to that of Speed and Bleau."
