World Map: Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis | Hendrik Hondius | 1630

The world is divided into two hemispheres enclosed by an elaborate border of figures, portraits and symbolic scenes. Fine networks of geographical lettering and coastlines contrast with the richer colour and movement of the surrounding decoration. Smaller celestial and geographical elements extend the map’s account of the world beyond the central spheres. Hondius’s composition belongs to the flourishing culture of seventeenth-century Dutch atlas production, in which cartographic description, learned reference and ornamental display were brought together on a single ambitious sheet.
