Inset at the bottom of this handsome title page is a map (5.6 x 4.1") of a northern hemisphere showing the Island of California. The Latin phrase, Nulla dies abeat, quin linea ducta superfit (Let not a day pass without a drawn line remaining) is on a banner above the map. The hemisphere is surrounded by the sun, moon and stars. Similar to McLaughlin's state 2, but this unrecorded example was published in the Atlas Mapparum Geographicarum rather than Grosser Atlas Liber die Gantze Welt.

References: McLaughlin (TP) #15.
