This “meritorious work”, as Sabin justly styles it, is particularly remarkable for
the large number of plates and maps contained in it. Among the plates there are 17
representations of animals, chiefly birds, and the last fourteen plates give illustrations
of the occupations of the inhabitants such as hunting, fishery, navigation, sugar-plan-
tation, cotton-factory, primitive bridges, costume of Lima and so on.
A well preserved copy with ample margins and good impressions of the copperplates.

The extremely rare first edition of this worldmap representing the two hemispheres,
adorned with fine cartouches depicting the Last Judgment, the Fall of man and the
emblems of the 4 continents. On the western hemisphere there are the portraits of
the four circumnavigators Magellan, Cavendish, Drake and Olivier van Noort. The
map is of the highest importance for the state of our geographical knowledge at
that time, the discoveries made during recent circumnavigations being already utilized.
A large number of geographical names are to be found, particularly as regards the
American continent. The “Terra del Fogo” and “Nova Guinea” form with the “Terra
Australis” one sole large continent in the South.

Sabin 28070: “This interesting work forms a geography and pictorial atlas of the
world. It is, perhaps, the first of that useful class of books called Gazettiers, which
it resembles more than anything else”. Amongst the beautifully engraved views we
should like to point out Cracow, Riga, Reval, Moscow, Astrachan, Constantinople,
Budapest, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, London etc. There are maps relating to America,
Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey, Persia, the East
Indies, each adorned with pictures representing the costume of the respective country.
