151354087Strasbourg. 1513. Originalt tresnitt. Arkets størrelse : 60 cm X 425 cm. Norsk. <br/><br/><em>“Martin Waldseemüller a highly accomplished scholar of geography merged the science of mapmaking and the art of printing in his 1513 atlas one of the most groundbraking documents in the history of cartography. He intended this atlas as a new edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia but included the addition of 20 modern maps which were not based upon the tradition of Ptolemy. Waldseemüller’s use of a quadratic plane projection was also a noteworthy advance.â€Martin Waldseemüller 1470-1520.Liten rift ved nedre marg. Et lite ormehull i venstre marg.
