Description:
Very rare map of the World in two hemispheres by Johann Georg Klinger. Above and below of the world map are detailed, schematic drawings of the solar system as well as various celestial phenomena such as the eclipses of the moon and the sun, comets, Saturn and the Moon, the course of the earth around the sun and the path of the Moon around the earth. In the depiction of the solar system the planet Uranus is depicted at the point where Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel discovered it in 1781. The present World Map emphasizes the discoveries of Cook’s to a very special extent: on the two hemispherical halves, their rice eruptions and stations are marked with the respective year, as well as their violent death in the Bay of Kealakekua in Hawaii. ​
