About this Item
Description:
This interesting world map presents a simplified continental outline which exhibits many geographic irregularities, most notably the depiction of California as an island. Physical accuracy wasn't the point, however, as the numerous diagrams and labels indicating various principles of geography reflect. Antipodes, parallels, poles, and climate zones are all detailed in one form or another, in a way still comprehensible to the modern eye. Published in Paris by Alain Manesson Mallet for the 1683 (first) edition of his Description de L'Univers. Sheet Width (in) 8 Sheet Height (in) 7.6 Condition Description Creasing along fold lines and one small spot of soiling in the lower margin. Very good condition. Seller Inventory # 1655
