AF-MX-3060.T.jpg

Folding double-page engraved twin-hemisphere world map by Robert Walton after John Speed from Denis P̩tau's History of the World (1659). This map by Walton is often mistaken as a map by Speed due to the similarities. According to the map's title, it was "drawne according to ye truest Descriptions latest discoveres and best observations have been made by English or Strangers."
