A New Map of the World

Map by Robert Greene, 1676
Greene’s map illustrates the delineation of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, allowing all of the islands comprising the Dutch West Indies to be seen together, rather then spilt into two groups. It includes inset maps of North and South Pole and is decorated with designs representing the continents of Europe, Asia, America, and Africa with people, animals and vegetation appropriate to the period.
