Very unusual early 19th century, double hemisphere world map. Finely engraved and centered on South East Asia, it features topography rather than political divisions. Five other projections surround the map; Northern, Southern, Western, Eastern and Mercators. Pictorial title cartouche with the four female representations of the continents, Venus in a seashell, and frolicking mermaids.
