Description

Interesting and detailed world map, cartographically up-to-date and showing the routes of explorers, including Magellan, Dampier, Tasman, Gaetani and Chaumont.
Prepared by Adam Friedrich Zurner (1680-1742) and published by P.Schenk in "Atlas Contractus".

Nova Britannia, an island separately adjacent from New Guinea, is shown with an inscription saying that it was discovered by Dampier in 1700.
California as an island.
Encircling the hemispheres are markings of the winds and climates, and set around the border are no less than twenty-six smaller astronomical diagrams and hemispheres of the world according to different projections.
In addition there are two larger celestial hemispheres and, at the bottom, a panorama illustrating tempests, earthquakes, tides, vortices etc. Below, there is textual commentary on the natural phenomena depicted.
