"Harmonie ou Correspondance du Globe auecq la Sphere par les Points, Lignes, Cercles, &c...", Sanson, Nicolas

This very unusual, double hemisphere map was engraved by Jean Somer Pruthensus. It displays simple outlines of the continents, shows California as an island, and illustrates meridians and climatic zones. There are no place names and the interior of the continents are completely blank. This engraving was included in Sanson's atlases from 1659 onwards.
