Very unusual chart illustrating the basic principles and terms associated with geography. The engraving is centered on a double hemisphere without landmasses, showing lines of latitude and longitude, climate zones, etc. The spheres are surrounded by several smaller diagrams showing antipodes, parallels and meridians, and the seasons, making for a very handsome presentation.
