Kashnor dates as c. 1700, but according to Tooley Homann Erben did not begin to flourish until 1730. Prior to that, books from that press were ascribed to Johann Baptist Homann, who died in 1724. See 093:132M for another state of this map. Note changes in spelling of "Bermudes & Antegoa" versus "Bermudos & Antego" on 093:132M version of this map.
