This charming little double-hemisphere map depicts an early 18th century view of the world based on the cartography of Delisle. Although California is depicted in a peninsular formation, the northwestern coast of North America is left entirely blank. Only the western half of Australia's (Nouvelle Hollande) coastline is delineated, and it is shown attached to New Guinea. New Zealand is partly illustrated but is not named. In the north Pacific, Japan is attached to a large Yedo, with the hint of another landmass just to the east.
