New and accurate map of all the known world drawn from the latest & most accurate surveys

Double hemisphere map with allegorical representations of the continents in four corners. Australia is still rather mis-shapened with Tasmania still attached to the mainland. Much of the Arctic is "undiscovered." Copper engraved with hand colour.
