[ Title Page / Atlas Holding The World on his Shoulders ] Planisphere Representant Toute L'Etendue Du Monde Dans L'Ordre Qu'on A Suivi Dans Ce Livre

The Planisphere Representant Tout L'Etendue du Monde. Dans L'Ordre Qu'on a Suivi Dans Ce Livre, published by Louis Renard in Amsterdam around 1715, showcases a distinctive north polar azimuthal projection, carried on the shoulders of the mythological figure Atlas. Within this projection are remarkable geographical representations, including a large Northwest Passage in North America and a highly elongated depiction of the Island of California. Furthermore, the extension of Australia across sixty degrees, placing its eastern shore north of New Zealand, adds to the intrigue of the map.
