wo The Keur family produced a number of different bibles from their press at Dordrecht and later at Rotterdam.
This finely executed world map in two hemispheres with in each corner classical scenes representing the rape of
Persephone, Zeus being carried across the heavens in an eagle-drawn chariot, Poseidon commanding his entourage,
and Demeter receiving the fruits of the Earth. The northern part of California (as an island) is flat. A small
piece of land “Anian” appears adjacent to a strait leading within striking distance of the west shores of Hudson’s
Bay. Australia is depicted with both the western and the northern coastline (as it joins on to New Guinea) drawn
uninterruptedly. With two astronomical diagrams. - Shirley, World 513.
