Charming reduced version of this German map. It covers the continent and the East Indies. 'Terra Yedso' is represented here as a large land mass to the north of Japan (Honshu) and linked by a narrow causeway. 'Compagnie Land' is show to the east and marked with a notation that is was discovered by "Don Juan de Gama". There is no Kamchatka peninsula and Nova Zembla appears to be a peninsula rather than an island. The uncolored cartouche represents the exotic East with people and animals. Another cartouche at top incorporates the distance scales.
