Three major ship routs spread across the Atlantic, each adorned with an illustration of a ship. Two depict the route to and from Europe and the West Indies. The third shows the mythical, sought for North West Passage to Japan and China. Two mermen blowing sea shells border the title cartouche in the bottom left corner. |
