Fine miniature map based on Ortelius. The map focuses on the North Pacific, including Northwestern America and Japan.

The map covers northern Russia, China, and an early depiction of Japan, which is located just off the American shore. It is decorated with two elaborate cartouches. On a full sheet of Italian text.
