Description

Seven sequential sheets (of probably 24 plus two calottes) of a terrestrial globe of about 15" diameter, together showing the Southern Hemisphere from the western coasts of South America across the South Pacific to New Zealand as mapped by Abel Tasman. Valk gore sheets are rare, as they were never included in an atlas.

Condition:

A good example.
