"A Map of the North Pole with All the Territories That Lye Near It, Known to Us &c. According to the Latest Discoveries, and Most Exact Observations. Agreeable to Modern History", Moll, Herman

This unusual map depicts the North Pole and shows incomplete northern coastlines for North America and Greenland. Novaya Zemlya is correctly shown as an island facilitating a Northeast Passage to Asia. Above the Pole is Parts Unknown, and three compass roses complete the composition. This is the second state of the map, which includes a publisher's imprint and two panels of text flanking the map.

A nice impression on a watermarked sheet with faint toning. There is archival tape reinforcing the centerfold to repair a short separation at bottom.
