Item Details
Description
DOPPELMAYR, Johann Gabriel (1677-1750) & HOMANN, Johann Baptist (1664-1724).
Basis Geographiae Recentioris Astronomica.
Engraved map with original hand color.
Nuremberg, circa 1740.
21 5/8" x 24 7/8" sheet.

Dopplemayr's scarce world map is a unique combination of scientific and decorative cartography. The map is based on coordinates established for 138 places, which are shown in the tables above and below the double hemisphere map. The continents are shown in outline form without political detail. In North America California is an island, and there is a hint of a possible Northwest Passage from Hudson Bay to the Strait of Anian. In the Eastern Hemisphere only the western and northern coastlines of Australia are shown, and Japan appears twice (once to illustrate Sanson's error that placed it too far east).
