Description
This beautiful wall map consists of two hemispheres. The Eastern Hemisphere is being carried by Hercules (with the skin of the Nemean Lion), the Western Hemisphere is carried by Atlas. At the top, title ribbons are held by putti. At the bottom left we see the starry sky from the Northern Hemisphere, in the bottom right there is the sky from the Southern Hemisphere, at the bottom in the middle a so-called armillary sphere in which we see the celestial sphere with the main topics, as well as images of the Ptolemaic geocentric world system (in which the earth is at the center and surrounded by the planets) and the Copernican system (in which the earth is only one of the planets of our solar system).

The map is framed on three sides.
There are vignettes with a Biblical story of Creation from first to the sixth day starting in the top center, and ending anti-clockwise in the lower-left corner with Adam and Eve in Paradise.

Starting at top right and continuing in the right border there are seven vignettes showing the Tower of Babel, Arch of Noah and manners of activities.

NOTE: Lacking the lower banner with two textural vignettes about the history of geography from ancient and modern history and three other vignettes.

Dated in lower part, 1788. This is a heavenly updated version of Jean Janvier / Longchamps edition of 1754. The northwest coast of America is largely conjectured with the information largely derived from Russian sources (1731/1732) and James Cook (1778/1779). The coast has no longer the fanciful "Mer de l'Quest". The 3rd voyage of James Cook, Willis, and Bouganville (1768) are shown.
In the interior of North America, we find a Lac de Fonte connected to a series of lakes.
The east coast of Australia is no longer connected to New Guinea and its east coast is now continued to Tasmania.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
