Additional Details

Burden 192. Fifth State, without the Hondius imprint. Possibly a variant, with Burden identifying the initial fifth state appearance in 1652 with French text on verso and the initial appearance of the fifth state with Latin text as 1666. However, Burden is uncertain whether the Latin text version carries a signature on the verso, while this copy uses America as a signature mark.
