Description:
Double hemisphere world map showing Australia as Niew Hollandt and
according to the discoveries made by Abel Tasman on his two voyages in 1642-44.
California as an island and the north west coast of America is named Terra
Esonis. In Asia, Korea is a elongated peninsula.
The two main hemispheres are surrounded by six smaller spherical sections,
two covering the polar surfaces of the earth, two showing astronomical measurements
relative to the earth, one featuring a geocentric view of the solar system and
the other representing the Sun and its relationship with both the Earth and the
Moon showing how eclipses are produced. Rudolph
Wetstein (d. 1742) and Jacob Wetstein were publishers in Amsterdam active from
1700 to 1730. They published maps with printer William Smith.
