Description
Second state. Engraved by Louis Cordier. The two hemispheres generally follow Sanson's latest world map of 1660 except for the unusual, and less accurate, representation of Australia. Du Val has also retained a prominent southern continent. Outside the hemispheres, at the top, there are circular diagrams showing the compass points, winds and planetary orbits. In the bottom corners a small terrestrial globe and an armillary sphere.
