An lovely oval woodcut "modern" world map, based on Ortelius. Surrounded by a floral & vine leaf pattern and two strapwork cartouches containing German text. The gothic German title is in the upper margin. The interesting cartographic features of the map include a huge southern continent and a Northern passage (both Northwest and Northeast) to Asia.
