This is the only known map to have been engraved by Gerard Mercator’s grandson, Michael Mercator. “It is a hemispherical map contained within an attractive floral design, and surrounded by four roundels, one of which contains the title. The other three contain maps of the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba and Hispaniola, all spheres of Spanish influence.” French text on verso. Entry 87, Plate 87 pp111/112 Burden, P.D. “The Mapping of North America”
