This fine hand coloured
original
antique
twin Hemisphere World map was
published by Gabriel Bodenehr
in the 1704 edition of Atlas
Curieux.
A bold border and decorative title cartouche
enclose this miniature map of the world. The double
hemisphere includes the Island of California, a
blank Northwest coast of North America, and partial
coastlines for Australia and New Zealand. Tucked between
the spheres are two polar projections.
