PLANISPHAERIUM TERRESTRE CUM UTROQUE COELESTI HEMISHERIO, SIVE DIVERSA ORBIS TERRAQUEI.

A fine example of Adam Freidrich Zurner's scarce double hemisphere map of the World, embellished with 26 decorative scenes and scientific projections of the Celestial skies and contemporary astronomical theories and teachings.
An attractive and interesting map full of detail including most of the coast of Australia, the western coast of New Zealand, and the routes and discoveries of explorers Magellan, Dampier ("Nova Britannia" in 1700), Tasman, Gaetani and Chaumont.
Surrounding the map is an elaborate border showing winds and climates, and along the bottom edge a panorama illustrating tempests, earthquakes, tides, vortices, and a textual commentary on all the natural phenomena illustrated.
California is shown as an island, but very tentatively so, with the coloring suggesting that it may be a peninsula, suggesting early knowledge of Fra. Eusebio Kino's observations from California.
