Planisphere representant toute l’etendue du monde […] – (A planisphere covering the complete extend of the world …) This allegorical plate shows Hercules carrying the world. A very interesting and decorative world map on a North Polar projection derived from Jacques Cassini’s projection published in 1696. Because of the projection it depicts some very odd landmasses. California depicted as an Island is very elongated. Australia extends very wide. The planisphere is supported on the shoulders of Hercules.
