This is a landmark map, being the first printed record of the discoveries made by the Dutch ship "Dufken" on route to Cape York in Australia, despite the 27 years that had passed since the voyage!

Two years later Blaeu issued his version, but it must have been galling to have known the secrets for nearly thirty years and be beaten to publication by his fiercest rival.
