Famous hemispherical map of the Americas designed and engraved by Michael Mercator, grandson of the great Gerard Mercator. The map shows two of Mercator's four polar islands. Other mythical islands include Frisland and St. Brendan's Island in the Atlantic. Other curiosities are the bulge in the southwest of South America, the great southern continent and a very large New Guinea. Three insets maps depict the Gulf Coast, Hispaniola and Cuba with the Bahamas and southern Florida, all areas of particular Spanish influence. A most attractive example of this important map. Latin text to verso. Also see Burden, The Mapping of North America, 87.
