A beautifully engraved, large sea chart of the Arctic regions covering from Hudson and Baffins bays to Iceland and a bit of the coast of Ireland. Interestingly the Detroit d' Anian is located (lower left corner) quite close to the open-ended Buttons Bay. The chart is based on Sanson's cartography, and though it offers nothing new, it is a large, impressive chart.

References: Kershaw #110.
