Rare Set of World Maps Including a Cordiform Map.
A nice set of modern world maps, showing two unique projections.
On the left is a world map on a North Polar Projection, showing California as an Island and extending South to include the known/incomplete coastlines of Australia and New Zealand and even a small hint of the Antarctic coast, although mythical.
On the right is a cordiform projection of the world, which was popularized in the mid-16th Century, but again with contemporary cartographic information and mis-information.
In each instance, California is curiously hooked to the mainland in the mid part of the Island, apparently hedging the prospect of its insularity in a unique and curious format.
A scarce world map, the first time we have encountered this work.
