Description

Rare double hemisphere map of the celestial heavens, which appeared in Boisseaus Tresor des carte Geographiques, published in Paris.

The map provides a fine detailed treatment of Northern and Southern Hemispheres, based upon the Obvservations of Tycho Brahe.

The map is extremely rare, with no appearances in AMPR in the past 30 years. We note only 3 examples of any of the maps from Boisseau's Tresor des carte Geographiques have apperaed in AMPR in this time period (World Map -1992; America-1993; Cyprus-2004).
