Henricus Hondius II – Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula (1631)

“A map of the world created by Hendrik Hondius in 1630, and published the following year in the atlas Atlantis Maioris Appendix.

Among its claims to notability is the fact that it was the first dated map published in an atlas, and therefore the first widely available map, to show any part of Australia, the only previous map to do so being Hessel Gerritsz’ 1627 Caert van’t Landt van d’Eendracht (“Chart of the Land of Eendracht”), which was not widely distributed.

The Australian coastline shown is part of the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, discovered by Jan Carstensz in 1623. Curiously, the map does not show the west coast features shown in Gerritsz’ Caert.”
