Belgian cartographer Philippe Vandermaelen’s Atlas universel, was the first atlas produced by the relative new printing process of lithography. It is also the first atlas to show the whole world in maps using a large uniform scale. Incredibly Vandermaelen designed the maps to be joined into a terrestrial globe with a diameter of approximately 7.75 meters.
