"Globus Terrestris ex Probatissimis Recentiorum Geographorum Observationibus Confectus cum Systemate Copernicano...", Schreiber, Johann Georg

This charming double hemisphere map is surrounded by engravings of the heavens and natural phenomena such as waterspouts, a rainbow, earthquakes, and a volcano. The map shows a typical 18th century geographical view with an incorrect northwest coastline in North America, labeled Terra Esonis, and partial coastlines for Australia and New Zealand. Nestled between the hemispheres are two depictions of the solar system based on Copernicus and Tycho Brahe.
