DANCKERTS, Justus.
Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula.
Amsterdam, c.1685. 485 x 575.
Superb original colour, with gum-arabic on the red; some expert restoration in the centrefold area and minor soiling to the margins, otherwise a very good example.
One of the finest double hemisphere World maps available. Very similar in style to the earlier maritime map of 1668, this one however has been updated with the new discoveries in the south polar circle and the addition of Nova Guinea and the detail in the Pacific Ocean. The names of the oceans have also been added. Other amendments include the NW coast of America above the Island of California and the beginings of the coastline of New Zealand and Australia.
