A beautiful map based upon the Mercator-Hondius map of 1606. "The North Carolina area is correctly reduced in size...This gives a more adequate representation of the South Carolina coast, which was greatly contracted in the Mercator map." Native American figures artistically adorn the cartouche along with sailing ships, and cherubs.
