Nova Universi orbis descriptio.

Jodocus Hondius engraved this world map sometime around 1590, and it is only known via this publication by Jean le Clerc in 1602.
According to Schilder : Hondius copied Ortelius’ world map of 1587, however the line of Terra Australis is under broken and in the opposite north Estotilant is now clearly separated by a strait from the American mainland.
Nova Albion is still mentioned on the western coast. Four oval medallions in the corners bear stately female figures, allegorically representing the continents, inspired by Hondius after a series by Fillip Galle engraved after drawings of Marcus Gheeraerts.
The four continents are depicted as female figures with a clear hierarchical structure: the 'civilized' continents Europe and Asia in the right corners from a direct contrast to te 'wild' continents in the left. Europe, dressed in splendid clothing, wears a crown and carries a scepter and globe as symbol of her power. Asia just a richly clothed, holds aloft a dish of incense. Africa, neatly nude, holds a branch of balsam as her attribute; worthy to note is the fact that the artist was still afraid to depict a black woman instead of the usual white female figure.
The scantily clad figure of America, adorned with a crown of feathers, is depicted with a club.
Hondius was a promoter of Drake and give account of the discoveries of Drake. In sharp contrast with his contemporaries Hondius represents the Drake theory and instead of depicting Tierra del Fiego as part of Terra Australis, Hondius depicts it as a group of islands south of the Strait of Magallan.
The southernmost island, situated in the passage between the southern Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, bears the name “Ins; Reginae Elisabetae” (islands of the Queen Elizabeth ).
An observation on the mainland of Terra Australis states "Cum omnes hanc partem australem esse contenentem putent, pro certo sciant insulas esse".
This statement expresses Hondius's ideas concerning drake's discoveries before doubts arose as to their accuracy. It shows that Hondius probably engraved the map before 1590, at which point he noted on his Drake broadside Map that Cavendish and the Spanish asserted that there was a strait but no archipelago.
