The only known map engraved by Gerard Mercator's grandson (better known for his engraving of the Drake silver medal while resident in London in 1589). First published in Duisburg, 1595, it shows North

Nondum Cognita". A clear North-West Passage is shown; the St Lawrence river
runs past the unknown Great Lakes to rise in a mountain chain mid-continent;
the mythical "Friesland" is shown near Iceland; South America has a distinctive
bulge in the south-west (removed from Ortelius' map 1587), and at the North
Pole is the island invented for magnetic north. Around the map is an extensive
floral pattern with roundels in each corner, one for the title, the others for
inset maps of the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba and Haiti. BURDEN: 87. KOEMAN: Me 19. |

For decoration the map has a depiction of the ship Victoria, the only surviving ship of Magellan's fleet, in the Pacific, body parts stored by cannibals over Brazil, the flag of Spain over the West Indies and Portugal's in the South Atlantic.

The Cape of Good Hope is marked, but the interior of South Africa only has an elephant. Prester John's capital Hamarich also appears as does the fabled Monoculi.

Three unusual plans of Japanese cities, Miaco, Osaka and Yedo. Postcard in size and highly detailed with keys and titles in Japanese.

However, these appear to be prints from a copper plate which was quite unusual for Japan and could well be printed in the mid-19th century.
