Description: "A Plat of All the World" (1657), known as the Wright–Moxon Map. It is a heavily updated creation based on a 1610 enlargement (done by William Kip) of the original 1599 Wright-Molyneux Map. The 1657 Wright-Moxon Map incorporates the wealth of discoveries stemming from voyages of discovery from 1599 to 1655, particularly in Northern Canada and Australia. This map appears in the 1657 edition of Edward Wright's Certain errors in navigation.
