Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti Generalis Exhibitio . . .

Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti Generalis Exhibitio by Johann Baptist Homann, printed in Nuremberg in 1720, exemplifies the cartographic practices and aesthetic sensibilities of the early 18th century. This double hemisphere map of the world is notable not only for its geographical representation, showcasing the familiar inaccuracies of the period such as an incomplete Australia, but also for its lavish artistic embellishments. These include celestial depictions for both the northern and southern hemispheres, allegorical representations merging science and fantasy, and detailed portrayals of natural phenomena, including the activity of volcanic mountains and the enigmatic whirlpools.
