A New Map Of The Whole World With The Trade Winds ...
|
An attractive double hemisphere world map from Herman Moll's most popular series of maps, here, as issued in the "Atlas Minor" and also used, on inferior paper, for a variety of geography text books. This small map includes details such as California as an island and Moll explains his representation of the trade winds and gives the seasons in which they occur. A third, smaller hemisphere shows the North Pole, beside which the zodiacal signs are listed. Beneath the spheres are tiny figures representing each continent and a naked female figure apparently dispensing all manner of products including trinkets, weapons, and symbols of authority and retribution.
