This is the German edition of Bellin's map of the South Pacific. It presents nice detail of the region with eastern Australia shown with dotted lines connecting both Tasmania and New Guinea in a conjectural coastline. New Zealand is shown with only the western coastline demarcated. The Americas are presented from Baja California through Central America and the western coastline of South America including the Straits of Magellan and Cape Horn.
