Circa 1536 – 1550, the French school of navigation and charting at Dieppe produced atlas and world maps some of which portrayed a vast land mass south of Indonesia. This led many historians to associate it with the continent of Australia. 280 x 200cm., pp. xv, 140, endpaper maps, b/w & 2 col. maps & plates.
