Engr., 46,5 x 55,5 cm, hand-coloured (central folding, sm. spots).
Framed.
Frederick De Wit's double hemisphere map of the world with polar insets and brilliant scenes in the corners, featuring the four seasons, the elements and the signs of the zodiac. California is still represented as an island with a flat top, instead of the later pointed tip on his updated 1680 map.
