- A detailed and large-scale world map, engraved by Herman Moll, with the imprints of Jeremiah Seller and Charles Price.

Australia's coastline is incomplete, with the east coast, and a large section of the south coast not being drawn. Other areas of Australia not drawn are the north coast of Tasmania, and the area of Western Australia between Perth and Geraldton. Northern Queensland is connected to New Guinea on this map. Also, a large proportion of the coast of New Zealand is not drawn, and California is shown as an island.
