Additional Details

The second of Fries' modern world maps modeled after Waldseemuller's edition of 1513. "This map, like the one previously listed, is one of the earliest world maps available to a collector, and is an unsophisticated but attractive rendering of what was generally known of the world at that time" (Shirley 49.)
