"Der Alte Welt Begriff Bestehende in 3 Haubt Theilen als Africa Europa, Asia...", Bodenehr, Gabriel

A lovely small map of the eastern hemisphere, focusing on the river systems in each continent. A few geographical inaccuracies are evident even on this small map, including a horizontally oriented Caspian Sea and an unnamed Chimay Lacus in southern Asia with five rivers flowing south. Medallions showing four important explorers fill the corners: Dampier, Schouten, Vespucci and Magellan.
