Davis was an English explorer who is noted for his discovery of the Falkland Islands and his search for a Northwest Passage at the end of the sixteenth century. The map is adorned with a delightful title cartouche featuring an elephant leading a ceremonial procession. Published in van der Aa's compilation of early voyages of exploration.
