Summary
[edit]| Author |
Isaac Habrecht II |
| Description |
English: Terrestrial table globe Terrestrial table globe. Geographical details on the sphere show loxodromes for 32 compass points. California is represented as a peninsula. In North America there is a note on a discovery that reads 'AMERICA SEPTENTRIONALIS a Christophoro Columb. 1492 detecta'. The Strait of Ie Maire is mapped and labelled 'Fret. le Maire'. There is a hypothetical southern continent with the label 'TERRA AUSTRALIS INCOGNITA'. There is a comment in New Guinea. A total of ten oceans are named. It has been said that Habrecht used the globes of both Blaeu GLB0152 and Hondius GLB0129 as examples. It might, however, be more accurate to say that Habrecht's terrestrial globe was copied from that of Hondius with the addition of a few features from Blaeu. Various texts in North and South America and the text on New Guinea are directly copied from the Hondius globe. A set of the gores published by Paulus Furst is preserved in the Nicolai Collection in the Wurtembergische Landesbibliothek, Stuttgart. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication. |
