This appears to be a variant edition of Hadol's map - possibly a plagiarisation - as there are some slight alterations to the title cartouche and it lacks Hadol's name. The ensuing conflict resulted in France being humiliated, creating a powerful and unified Germany which laid the foundations of both the World Wars in the 20th century. There are later examples of this map with German, English and Dutch text. The second item is an unusual variation on the 'Octopus map' which shows Russia as an aggressive cephalopod whose tentacles reach across Europe. In this case, the danger is shown to be China and Japan and the 'tentacles' are replaced with the overgrown fingernails of Fu Manchu who reaches from over the horizon to engulf Europe.

Sabin 49490 (for the 'ordinary' edition). The preferred Gosnell edition: there was also an 'ordinary' edition (Ferguson) with the imprint 'for T. Chapman ... by T. Gillet', in a completely different setting and on smaller paper; Gosnell's edition is thought to have priority. Borba de Moraes is mistaken in citing a second edition 'similar in all details [to Gosnell's edition] except for the signature of the plates', that is, with 'J. Landseer direxit' rather than 'for Missionary Voyage': it is in fact Gosnell's edition in which the plates have 'J. Landseer direxit'. 'The Duff was the first missionary vessel to sail the little-known waters of the Pacific Ocean. After 208 days the vessel reached Tahiti, landing seventeen missionaries there, a further twelve at Tonga, and one on the Marquesas ... Several of the missionaries settled in Australia and founded families important in Australian history. The Duff proceeded from Tonga through the Fiji and Caroline Groups to Canton. In the course of this voyage the Duff Group was discovered and named and the knowledge of Pacific geography considerably extended' (Ferguson).
