Map by Cluver "America". Hand Colorized, on hand-laid paper. Has a tear upper lef corner, only affects border. Has some foxing and light bleeding from moisture. Map is professionally pieced from 2 pages of an atlas. This handsome small map was derived from the Nicolas Visscher map of 1658, with a Briggs-type island of California and no Great Lakes in North America. The interior rivers of South America are all connected to a large, spurious lake labeled Lago de los Xarzyes. A depiction of the discoveries of Maarten Gerritsz de Vries' voyage appears in the waters north of Japan, and Abel Janszoon Tasman's discoveries are shown in New Zealand. The map is decorated by a drape-style title cartouche.
