- Double hemispherical map of the world. In the corners and between the hemispheres are six medallions of celebrated navigators - Americus Vespuccius, F. [i.e. Amerigo Vespucci], 1497; Christoph Columbus G, [i.e. Chistopher Columbus], 1492; Francisco Draco [i.e. Francis Drake], 1577; Thomas Candisch [i.e. Cavendish], 1588; Ferd. Magellanus [i.e. Ferdinand Magellan], 1520; and Sebast. Del Cano [i.e. Juan Sebastian del Cano], 1521. The track of Magellan's circumnavigation is marked on the map which also notes some of Drake's discoveries, such as Anglia Nova in America's western coast. The map includes a large southern continent. Relief is shown pictorially.
- Historical background: The German writer Levinus Hulsius compiled an extensive collection of accounts of explorers' voyages, published ultimately in twenty-six parts. Eight years after de Bry began the publication of his Great Voyages', Levin Hulsius, stimulated by the success of the Bry's work, began the publication of a similar collection in quarto. Hulsius is credited with having exercised better judgment in his selections and translations than the de Bry.
