Zoffoli Globe Bar Explora Old White 40cm

The Universal Globe series map encapsulates the geographical knowledge of the 17th and 18th centuries, curated by Dutch cartographers who drew upon reports from renowned explorers like Barents, Le Maire, Tasman, and Roggeveen.

Supplementing this era's cartographies are depictions of remote and scarcely known regions, such as segments of the Tartar Empire, the North American sub-polar area, and the eastern coast of Australia. The uncharted territories of the Arctic and Antarctica are denoted by shaded regions.

Zoffoli preserves the customary use of Latin names, a hallmark of various cartographies from that time. The illustrations on the map reflect the prevalent ornamental and mythological motifs of the period, including depictions of sailing vessels that historically proved the Earth's spherical nature. A globe remains the most effective tool for comprehending the three-dimensional aspect of geography.
