World map 1746 Nuvemberg by Homann Heirs
The world in double hemispheres
Two projections show polar regions
Two modes show a more globular projection
Two smallest other projections are a fascinating concept of how the Earth would look like from space.
The two decorative cartouche adorn the map, one in French and one in Latin
Australia and New Zealand are taking shape. Pacific Northwest is still empty.
The sea between Japan and Korea is named "Mare Orientale Minus"
AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED
