ZÜRNER, Adam Friedrich. Planisphaerium Terrestre cum utroque Coelesti Hemisphaerio, sive Diversa Orbis Terraquei. Amsterdam: Pieter Schenk [c.1700 or later]. Engraved twin-hemispherical world map on landscape backgrounds, with smaller twin-hemisphere celestial maps, 12 small circular cartouches to upper margin depicting various global views including those of the poles and an armillary sphere, 14 small circular cartouches to lower margin with astronomical views, all hand-coloured by a contemporary hand, verso blank. (Restored, margins and central crease fold strengthened on verso), 505 x 575mm (sheet 556 x 615mm).
RARE WORLD MAP WITH ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLURING. Zürner's work is relatively unknown, appearing usually in other publishers' atlases, such as Schenk's Atlas Contractus. The present issue shows the routes of Magellan, Dampier, Tasman, Gaetani and Chaumont. California is tentatively depicted as an island with dotted lines, but coloured as a peninsula. Shirley 639.
