"Zee-Togten door Thomas Candys na de West Indien; en van daar Rondom den Gantzen A. Ardkloot Gedaan", Aa, Pieter van der

This small, decorative world map tracks the voyage of Thomas Cavendish, an Englishman who completed the third circumnavigation in history from 1586-88, after Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake. California is shown as an island, and the less explored South Pacific is cleverly hidden by a decorative title cartouche featuring a vignette of explorers preparing a feast. Published in van der Aa's compilation of early voyages of exploration.
