The World - 1719
Note: To view available close-ups, click on the area you wish to see. Quite an appealing and interesting early 18th-century engraved map with lovely full hand color. We see a series of the world in spheres as well as polar projections. In 2 of the 5 spheres, California is clearly depicted as an island in both the Bertius and Arzael projections. Above California is a huge erroneous westward bulge as well. There is also an enormous southern continent in the bottom spheres, with Australia displaying a strange shape. In near excellent clean condition. Sheet measures 6 1/4" x 8". Ordering: Please use the Buy Me button below, or phone the shop to order this map.
