World map in two hemispheres with beautiful decorations. In each corner there is classic scene representing the rape of Persephone, Zeus being carried across the heavens in an eagle-drawn chariot, Poseidon commanding his entourage, and Demeter receiving the fruits of the Earth. Between the hemispheres are circular diagrams depicting the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories of the solar system.
The northern part of California (as an island) is flat. Australia is shown as partially mapped, reflecting the Dutch explorations of the 17thC.
