Double-hemisphere historical world map dated 1664 created by Joan Blaeu.
The map depicts the world as it was known in the mid-seventeenth century. Both meridians and parallels are present. The two globes appear suspended, with allegories outside the globes, and celestial figures positioned in the central upper part, outside the globes.
Joan Blaeu, also known as Johannes Blaeu, was a Dutch cartographer and publisher.
