Description:

Superbly decorated double hemisphere world map based on Visccher’s with the four continents shown in allegorical form with examples of their animal life and inhabitants. Two circular diagrams depicting the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories of the solar system are also added. The discoveries of Tasman&#8217s voyages are shown and California is depicted as an island. The Keur family produced a number of different bibles from their press at Dordrecht and later from Rotterdam. Their folio bible of 1682 contains this finely-executed world map.
