Description:
|
Blaeu's double hemisphere map of the World. Hand-coloured engraving on paper with representations of the four seasons along the bottom: from left to right are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Portraits of Galileo, and Tycho Brahe (Joan Blaeu's father's teacher) adorn the corners, with several Classical deities appearing on clouds in between. California is shown as an island off the west coast of North America but the outline for the western portion of Australia is very accurate.
