ENGLISH ATLAS). OUTLINE HAND COLOR (ORIGINAL). COPPER ENGRAVING. Splendid example of one of the most
lavishly decorative world map from the "Golden Age" of cartography. Some of the

English version by Moses Pitt of Oxford. The surround of 22 vignettes
represents an epitome of ancient European iconography: The Four Seasons and the
Four Elements (Earth, Air, Fire & Water) literally embodied, as well as seven
Romans gods, representing the sun,
 moon
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Mercator projection map depicts
California as an island with no Pacific coastline above Cape Mendocino.
