Catalogue Note
From his Zee-Atlas, "With the similar Joannes van Loon chart of the same year, this is one of the most desirable of all California as an island maps. They are the first folio maps devoted to this curious cartographic phenomenon." (Burden). "Perhaps the most attractive representation of California as an island" (Tooley).
