Item Details
Description
  • Title: 1665 Kircher Map of South America -- Tabula qua Hydrophylacium Andium Exhibetur, quo Universa America Australis Innumeris Fluviis Lacubusq Irrigatur
  • Cartographer: A Kircher
  • Year / Place: 1665, Amsterdam
  • Map Dimension (in.): 13.4 X 8 in.

    This is a very unusual map of South America. The map is totally devoid of political detail with only a few regional names. Instead the map features the principal rivers, lakes, mountains and volcanoes. The mythical Lake Parime is here mistakenly linked to Lake Titicaca (Parime lacus, alias Titicacca). Paraquay is oddly depicted south of the Rio de la Plata (R. Della Plata), and a huge crater lake, more closely located to Lake Titicaca, is situated just above the Tropic of Capricorn. The Andes are shown as a chain of live volcanoes. It is from one of the first compilations of semi-scientific knowledge about the physical features of the world. The map is embellished with a large title cartouche at bottom. Published by Jansson and is from the first edition of Kircher's famous work about the interior of the earth with its underground passages and networks -- Mundus Subterraneus... Dutch text on verso.
