Delightful little map that conforms to the standard French model of the period. Hokkaido is attached to the mainland, and Terre de Iesso is off the coast partially obscured by the title cartouche. The map does not follow any particular cartographer, and Chiquet has made a concerted effort not to represent theoretical cartography. A note along the northeastern coastline translates "this coast and its outline have never been well known."

A nice impression with two faint extraneous creases. There are binding holes in the left blank margin, away from the map image.
