North and South America. Matthaus Merian (1593-1650) America Noviter Delineata . [Frankfurt, 1638]. Small folio-format double-page map, with central fold, uncolored, 14 3/4 x 13 1/4 in. This fascinating map shows the state of New World exploratory progress through various cartographical achievements and irregularities: Baja California has resolved into its peninsular form, but the west coast of the continent threatens to connect directly to Asia, and the Great Lakes are missing.
