Cartobibliographic notes:
|
Attributed to Paulo Forlani, although formerly attributed to Bolognino Zaltieri. This state of the map is earlier than the state dated 1566 and is one of the earliest maps to mention the Strait of Anian, as well as one of the first maps to show only North America and to include the name, Canada.
