The unique composition of this very interesting map shows the entire world but emphasizes the Old World. The main map depicts the Eastern Hemisphere, into which is inset a smaller Western Hemisphere with the island of California. The map shows the extents of the Roman Empire and Alexander the Great's Empire. Below the map are vignettes depicting the seven wonders of the ancient world. Tables of French text surround the entire map.
