A finely engraved double-hemisphere world map celebrating the recent exploits of that great Elizabethan seaman, Sir Francis Drake. The map appeared set in the titlepage to the "Additamentum" of Theodore De Bry's major voyages. The western hemisphere shows Asia, a great Terra Australis and North America, while the eastern hemisphere shows South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The hemispheres are set with decorative strapwork and a portrait of Drake in a roundel is given between the two hemispheres. The map is separately engraved to the text and is here a very good impression. An early world map and a good record of Drake's explorations. Protective left margin added.
