About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Schuine Ronde Aard-Klooten (..)'. Interesting double hemisphere world map with polar projections. In North America, there is a large Island of California. Australia and New Zealand are shown with incomplete coastlines. The map contains six smaller astronomical spheres including the phases of the moon and a Copernican solar system tucked between the hemispheres.

This map originates from 'Nieuwe Natuur- Geschied- en Handelkundige Zak- en Reisatlas' by Gerrit Brender à Brandis. Published by J. Keizer and I. de Lat, 1788.
