A detailed map of California, south from the Catalina Islands, and part of Mexico detailing the latest discoveries of the Jesuit missionaries. California is clearly a peninsula on this map, Eusebio Kino's findings dispelling the idea of an island California having been widely accepted by the time this map was published. The map appeared in Isaak Tirion's atlas, "Nieuwe En Beknopte Hand-Atlas ...". Tirion (c.1705-c.1769) was born in Utrecht. He became a prominent bookseller and publisher with premises on the `Kalverstraat' in Amsterdam and was also to become a member of the board of the booksellers' guild. He was responsible for a large number of atlases and books with maps, of which this is a fine example with wide margins and attractive colour.
