Kashnor notes, "Shows the Terre de Jesso almost touching California, the then existing idea of the passage between Asia and America. Locates the Terre de Quir, which though out of the longitude, resembles the Northern Coast of Australia. Shows also New Holland and the coast of New Zealand and Van Diemen's Land." Shirtley 550 says this map is the fourth plate of Sanson's original 1674 map and gives atlas source. Cartouches: elaborate upper and lower cartouches with mermen and sea creatures.

Relief: pictorial. Projection: Dual Hemisphere. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Other Features: Cartouche. References: Shirley 550, LC 524.. Verso Text: MS note: 148966.
