Vignettes of indigenous peoples representing Asia, America, Europe, and Africa surround this well-engraved double-hemisphere map. An attractive rococo title cartouche rests between the hemispheres. Only a few cities are named in North America, and the northwest coast is noted as Parts Undiscovered. Australia is misshapen and connected to Van Diemens Land with indistinct eastern and southern coastlines. New Zealand is mapped only on the west coast with no evidence of two islands. The Sea of Korea is identified, and Companies Land and De Gama's Land are located east of Japan. Crosshatched areas locate and show direction of trade winds. This is the state with the plate number "No. 4" engraved at lower left.
