Charming double hemisphere map with the female representations of the continents adorning each corner. The Northwest part of North America is nearly blank except for a complex river and lake system alluding to a Northwest Passage. "Nouvelle Hollande" is shown with the known coastlines connected between the mainland, Tasmania and New Guinea, creating an oddly shaped landmass.
