Beschreibung:

A New Mapp of the World. London: Robert Greene [after 1676]. Copper-engraved map with early hand-coloring (554 x 443 mm), framed. Side margins cut to platemarks, dampstaining to lower margin, very briefly affecting image, evenly toned, a few stray spots. California as an island. A very rare separate printing of which Shirley mentions only two other known examples. This example lacks the 1676 date shown in the Shirley example, but still shows Greene at the same address so this example was printed sometime before his 1688 death. Curious scenes surround the map including a display of cannibalism in the section on America and a centaur and putti-like figures in the African section. Shirley 476.
