This map covers all of north and South America from a mysterious inland lake (Conibas?) to Tierra del Fuego, and from New Guiana to beyond the easternmost coast of Brazil. This map is Petri's major revision of Sebastian Munster's original 1540 map of America and is based almost entirely on Ortelius' 1570 map of the same region. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmericaeSiveNoviOrbis-munster-1588>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmericaeSiveNoviOrbis-munster-1588 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmericaeSiveNoviOrbis-munster-1588 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmericaeSiveNoviOrbis-munster-1588 1500.00 USD Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:11:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/America-moll-1701"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/America-moll-1701-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is a scarse 1701 map of North America and South America by Herman Moll. Centered on the American continent, this map covers from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. The map features much of note including a presentation of California as an Island, the early speculative mappings of New Zealand an the inclusion of Lake Parima and Xarayes in South America. This is one of the few maps to represent California as an island. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/America-moll-1701>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/America-moll-1701 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/America-moll-1701 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/America-moll-1701 400.00 USD Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:11:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/World-moll-1701"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/World-moll-1701-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is a scarce 1701 map of the world in hemispheres by Herman Moll. It depicts the world on a hemispheric projection and the map of the northern hemisphere with polar projection centered on the North Pole. The map features much of note including a presentation of California as an Island and early speculative mappings of Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.

One of the most iconic maps of America ever made, this map is surrounded by decorative vignettes illustrating the indigenous peoples and cities of the Americas. This map is both beautiful and important.

Both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres are drawn and offer a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Africa and Australia are largely unmapped in the interiors with coastlines accurately rendered.

J. Johnson and Ward's fine 1863 map of the world on a hemispherical projection. It offers a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Africa is largely 'unexplored' though Lake Uniamesi, something that may be taken for an embryonic form of Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika or both, does appear. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldHemi-johnson-1863>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldHemi-johnson-1863 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldHemi-johnson-1863 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldHemi-johnson-1863 200.00 USD Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:51:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is an altogether fascinating map of North America and South America by Jean Janvier dating to 1762. It covers both continents from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic Circle, extends westward to New Zealand and eastward as far as Africa and Spain. This map, which is heavily influenced by the theoretical mappings of Guillaume de l'Isle and Philippe Buache, went through several states of which this is the earliest and possibly the most interesting. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthSouthAmerica-janvier-1762 500.00 USD Fri, 24 May 2013 15:19:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-cruchley-1853"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/WesternHemisphere-cruchley-1853-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A beautiful 1852 George Frederick Cruchley map of the Western Hemisphere.

The map is a representation of North America and South America from the perspective of the Western Hemisphere. Cartographically this map represents a notable attempt to combine cartographic speculation with new discoveries and political advocacy and is most interesting for its presentation of North America. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-pinkerton-1812>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-pinkerton-1812 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-pinkerton-1812 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-pinkerton-1812 600.00 USD Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:08:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/PuzzleAtlas-delamarche-1860"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/PuzzleAtlas-delamarche-1860-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is a very attractive and rare c. 1860 jigsaw puzzle atlas published by Alexandre Delamarche. It consists of a custom box containing six jigsaw puzzle maps: South America, France, Europe, Asia, the World in hemispheres, and North America with the United States. This is the largest puzzle map we have seen, being nearly 50% larger than most other examples in this style.

Warren's 1879 map of the Western Hemisphere. Offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery, this map includes North America, South America and most of Polynesia.

The map details both the western and eastern hemispheres dividing the continents of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia in the eastern hemisphere and America (north and south) on the western hemisphere with color coding.

Covers both North America and South America from Greenland to Cape Horn. Overall the general form of the continents exhibit an craggy and exceptionally rugged coast line - a step back from some more advanced maps of this region available at the time. The cartography of North America, particularly the pre-Cook northwest is speculative and indistinct. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Amerique-desnos-1760>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Amerique-desnos-1760 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Amerique-desnos-1760 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Amerique-desnos-1760 500.00 USD Sun, 24 Mar 2013 00:17:13 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere-finley-1827"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/WesternHemisphere-finley-1827-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is Finley�s desirable 1827 map of the Western Hemisphere.

Depicts North America, Central America and South America as well as parts of Polynesia, Siberia and Greenland. In North America, thanks primarily to the work of Cook in the Pacific Northwest the coasts are rendered with considerable accuracy. The interior of North America, particularly the American West, is still rather vague, though much of the cartography is clearly derived from Humboldt's explorations. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere2-pinkerton-1818>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere2-pinkerton-1818 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere2-pinkerton-1818 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WesternHemisphere2-pinkerton-1818 600.00 USD
