Charming, double-hemisphere map of the world flanked by text describing the geography and continents of the world. The continents are shown without much interior detail, and Australia and New Zealand are still just a partial coastline. There are a profusion of seas named along the coasts, including Mer de Jedso, M. de Californie, M. du Perou, Mer du Canada, and many more.
