Untitled [Map Of The Southern Hemisphere]
|
This is a fine map of the Antarctic regions by Petrus Schenk and Leonard Valk, a re-engraving of a map that was originally published by Hondius in 1637. The Hondius original included a title cartouche and blank shield that were erased as the plate evolved and the discovery of New Zealand was charted. Schenk and Valk's map includes the addition of their names in the lower part of the map and, of course, the partial outline of the newly discovered New Zealand. The map's fine decoration includes a rather stern looking penguin in the lower right corner and scenes of discovery and exploration. In good condition with wide margins.
