"A New & Correct Chart of all the Known World Laid Down According to Mercator's Projection…", Bowen, Emanuel

This attractive sea chart is filled with rhumb lines and compass roses. The northwest coast of North America is left blank and noted as Parts Undiscovered. Australia is misshapen and connected to Van Diemens Land with indistinct eastern and southern coastlines. New Zealand is mapped only on the west coast with no evidence of two islands. Near Japan, an odd piece of coastline is named as De Gama's Land with a small island nearby claimed as Company's Land.
