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.
