Beautifully and heavily engraved pair of hemispheric charts detailing the poles to the Equator. The upper reaches of North America is left blank with an indistinct shoreline. The large blank area of the western U.S. is simply labeled New Albion. In the South Pole the region is entirely blank save for Sandwich Land and a few named islands at about 50° latitude. A nice matched pair of maps of the world on a polar projection.
