An unusual world map that shows California as an Island and a rudimentary form of Australia. Tucked into the cusps of the double hemisphere map is a very inventive depiction of the earth as it would be seen from space,minus the oceans. At the bottom are allegorical female representations of the four continents with their animal escorts.
