Lovely small map of Bermuda from this slightly larger format of Mercator’s Atlas Minor. The map is derived from the famous Norwood/Speed map of 1622. The various "tribes" are noted along with numerous settlements. Virginia appears to the northwest, Cape Cod is due north. Bermuda is shown twice on the map - once as the central feature, and a second time showing the island in relation to the coasts of North America and Hispaniola. A strapwork title cartouche and compass rose adorns the map. French text on verso, published in 1630 and 1636. Title above upper neatline reads Description des Isles Bermudas.
