With a jester watermark, identifying the source as Montanus instead of Ogilby. "This map, which includes the area from northern Florida to the York River in Virginia, is a copy of Blaeu's 1640 or Jannsson's 1641 map. Different only are the cartouche to the bottom right consisting of a bison's skin held up by two Indian youths and the scale at the top left, above a waterfall and a pool in which several Indians are bathing"--Cumming 67.
