I wonder whether any reader of > the list could help to identify that model. I'm not an expert on maps, but on voyages of discovery. As such I will not specify the exact model, but I will comment on its time frame. I notice in the shape of Australia that it does include information from the Thijssen voyage in 1633, but not from the first Tasman voyage in 1642-1643. That places it in the middle of the 17th century, probably the 1640s or 1650s. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.
