This is a rare Dutch edition of this interesting map showing the north-south and east-west axes at oblique angles to the continents. In North America, the Pacific Northwest coastline is not delineated and a series of rivers and lakes make up a Northwest Passage. At upper right, inside the neatline is "Pl. IV." The French edition of this map, engraved by Guillaume Delahaye, is given a full-page illustration in Pedley's book on page 94 and is discussed in her chapter "Maps that Illustrate and Teach."

References: cf. Pedley #18.
