Description:
Early miniature pre Tasman double hemisphere world map. The southern landmass of Terra Australis Incognita includes the north west of Australia with the named Lochac to Boeach, continuing the error originally included in Fine’s 1532 world map which mistakenly corrupted Marco Polo’s false kingdom of Beach. The Gulf of Carpenteria is named ‘Mare Lanchipol’, a name that appears in a number of early texts. Reference Shirley 359 From Jean Boisseau’s, ‘Tresors des Cartes Geographique Des Principaux Estats de L’Univers..’
