NAUTICAL WORLD MAP BY LASOR

NAUTICAL WORLD CHART

Attractive rare small world 'Navigare'

First appearing in Porcacchi's 'Isolario' in 1572, here this example is from 1713's Universus Terrarum Orbis Scriptorum Calamo Delineatus by Alphonsus Lasor à Varea,

It covers most of the world, excluding far eastern Asia and the western coast of North America; thus alluding to a connection between the two. The Terra Incognita landmass dominates the bottom of the map. The handsome map is filled with rhumb lines and the seas are fully stippled. Taken from a sheet
