Beautiful map of the Americas showing an easily navigable North West Passage, as well as a large, completely detached body of land in the region of modern-day Alaska. Engraved in 1628 by Abraham Goos for a new edition of the 'Atlas Minor'. This example was published two years later in the 1630 Dutch edition of the atlas.
