This beautifully
hand coloured original antique Twin Hemisphere World Map
drawn by Tobias Lobeck and
engraved by Tobias Conrad Lotter was published in the
1762 edition of Atlas Geographicus Portatilis,
Augsburg.
The 18th century saw a cartographical revival in Germany
and the increased output included some miniature
atlases. This atlas is one such example with each map
although small engraved with accurate and varied detail.
