"PERHAPS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE REPRESENTATION OF CALIFORNIA AS AN ISLAND"(Tooley).

One of a few maps to focus exclusively on California as an island, first published in De Zee Atlas ofte Water-Weereld. "With the similar Joannes van Loon chart of the same year, this is one of the most desirable of all California as an island maps. They are the first folio maps devoted to this curious cartographic phenomenon..." (Burden). Burden 391; Goos Mapping of North America 37; McLaughlin 36; Tooley Mapping of America p. 117, 22.
