An attractive and informative world map. Two circular hemispheres, joined centrally, one depicting the Old World, the other the New. The maps are surrounded by numerous remarks and tables listing the countries of each continent, the principal towns, lakes rivers etc. The detail on the map and the plethora of surrounding information make this a fascinating record of the state of knowledge about the world in around 1700.
Good margins, some very light offsetting on lower half of map, but a fresh and bright impression. Very good condition.
