Shows the western hemisphere and eastern hemisphere in double hemispheric projection. Includes North America, South America, partial outline of Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe. Of note, far northwest portion of Canada is left blank. Greenland is shown as connected to North America. Includes islands in South Pacific Ocean and West Indies. Includes four figures that are ancillary maps of different projections of the world. Figures I and II show the view of the world from the North and South Poles, respectively. Figure III in the lower right corner shows the view of the world angled towards Nuremburg. Figure IV in the lower left corner shows the opposite global area from figure III or the antipodes of Nuremburg. Between figures IV, II and II are two spherical diagrams of the world showing the parts of the globe illuminated by the sun and in darkness at different times. Surrounding the cartouches are sea creatures emerging from the water, a merman blowing a conch shell, broken tusks, a parrot and a deer amongst floral decoration.
