Copper engraving, original color, mm165x245. From “Atlas selectus”. An attractive, small double-hemisphere map surrounded by engravings of the heavens and natural phenomena such as waterspouts, a rainbow, earthquakes, and a volcano. The map shows a typical 18th century geographical view with the northwest coastline of North America extending toward Asia. Between the hemispheres are two depictions of the solar system based on Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. The text panels at bottom name the major regions of each continent.
