Description
This map, titled Europe sphéroïdale, is an intricately detailed depiction of the world focused on Europe and the surrounding regions, including parts of Africa and Asia. The map was drawn by the geographer F. A. Garnier and published by V. Jules Renouard in 1860. The decorative cartouche at the top includes a globe illustration with the inscription "Sphéricité de la terre," highlighting the spherical nature of the Earth. Hand-colored details enhance the delineation of countries and regions.
This map is a fine example of mid-19th-century cartographic art, reflecting the scientific and exploratory spirit of the era.
