Planisphaerium terrestr... 1696 Separate Map   Author Allard, Carel, 1648-1709 Note One of the earliest multiple hemispheric maps of the world, surrounded by 12 insets, eight smaller projections depicting the world from various orientations, and four smaller circular diagrams of hemispheric projections. Shows California as an Island, "Terra Esonis" stretching between North America and Asia, partial coastlines for New Zealand and Australia together with the coastlines of "Carpentaria" and "Quiri Regio". Allard's innovative scientific style was copied by a number of other mapmakers, including Schenk, Zurner, Homann and Seutter, replacing the traditional baroque ornamentation of the late Dutch period. The dark cross-hatched engraved background provides a striking contrast to the engraved maps. Includes two title cartouches, one in Latin with the other in Dutch. 1-1 of 1
