Bilder Worldmap - Goittlieb Schneider - Typus Orbis Terrarum - 1801-1820
Beskrivning
This decorative double hemisphere map presents a beautifully stylized vision of the world as known in the early 19th century. The map displays the continents with clear demarcations and Latin place names, reflecting geographical knowledge of the time. The corners are adorned with classical allegorical figures, wind deities, and mythological references. North America is only partially defined, and Terra Australis is shown as a large, mysterious landmass — a hallmark of early cartographic imagination.
