Description:

FULL TITLE: Orbis Terrarum Typus De Integro In Plurimis Emendatus Auctus Et Icunculis Illustratus

A scarce antique world map in two hemispheres being a close copy of Visscher's world map from the Ravesteyn Bible, dated 1657. Whilst the title is exactly the same, this engraving lacks any reference to its author. A significant difference between the two engravings is the fact that this map contains the outline of the western coast of New Zealand.
