Additional Details

Fine engraved map from an early Dutch Bible. "Most of the maps prepared by Plancius are uncommon, if not rare, as they were not reprinted in standard atlas form. One of his earliest productions is this world map in double hemispherical form after Rumold Mercator's world map of 1587" - Shirley 177, second state with Magallanica but without changes to Plancius's name in the title banner and no text below the map.
