Splendid highly decorative Mappe-Monde. A twin hemisphere map with smaller hemispheres of the poles. California is shown as an island, fragments of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand are shown, as is the ‘Terre de Iesso’ between Asia and North America. Ornate vignettes in the corners show people, cherubs, angels and satyrs in rural settings. Title along top edge. This is an early state of this beautiful Mappe-Monde

Fine condition.
