Show detail Hide detail

A highly decorative double hemispherical map of the world. The two hemispheres are supported on blunt pillars. The four elements Earth, Fire, Air and Wind are illustrated respectively in the corners of the map by a cornucopia, a chameleon, a bird of paradise and a whale. between the hemisphers are scenes from the Garden of Eden and the Last Judgement.

First issued by Abraham Ortelius in 1570, his map underwent many variations and transformations by later cartographers over the next 160 years. This map is one of the last variants updating the world map to include the discoveries of Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire who discovered in 1615 the Le Maire Strait [marked on the map as Fretum le Maire] located between Tierra del Fuego and Staten Island and that Tierra del Fuego was not the northern tip of a southern continent beyond South America. Australia is labelled 'Nd. Hollandia vulgo' with 'T lant van Eendracht', a reference to Dirk Hartog's ship which landed on Western Australian shores in 1616. Tasmania, though not yet clearly separated from the Australian mainland, is named 't Land van A' V. Diemen' following Tasman's discovery in 1642.
