Description
Scarce map of the world on Mercator's projection, combining modern scientific information with a fine retrospective of the Age of Exploration.
The map combines a detailed depiction of the routes of many of the most famous explorers from the Age of Exploration, with a scientific charting of the magnetic poles, and declinations. Among its modern features, the depiction of the South Polar coastline is finely executed.
Garnier's maps are prized for their striking and unique appearance and elegant wash colors.
