Description

An old world map printed in Rome in 1684

The sheet announces itself at length: Mappa mondo o vero carta generale del globo terestre — a world map, or rather a general chart of the terrestrial globe, shown in two planispheres, newly corrected and in many places enlarged after the most recent reports. The plate follows Nicolas Sanson, and the record names J. Luillier as its engraver; Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi brought it out again from his printing house at the Pace in 1684. Two hemispheres of 27 cm each on a sheet of 40 × 56 cm, and the Library of Congress copy is lightly hand colored, political boundaries only.
