Map Maker Pieter Schenck's striking world map which is based on Carel Allard's design which first appeared in 1696. The traditional decorative border of many seventeenth century world maps has dispappeared and the twin spheres are surrounded by eight smaller projections depicting the world from various angles and four smaller circular diagrams. The dark cross-hatched background provides a striking contrast.Hand coloured copper engraving. Shirley 578 NLA Bib ID 1825591
