An 18th century world map with ‘Terrestrial’ and ‘Maritime’ hemispheres

A unusual double-hemisphere world map: by centring the eastern sphere on Paris, most of the world's landmass is captured in the right circle, with only Patagonia, Australasia, and the islands of the East Indies and Pacific in the left. Thus Santini could name the two halves 'Hemisphere Maritime' and 'Hemisphere Terrestre'. Brothers Francesco and Paulo Santini were the editor and engraver respectively of their 'Atlas Universel', first issued in 1776, before selling the plates to Remondini in 1781. Despite the date the cartography has not been updqated, despite Captain Cook's discoveries the previous decade: Australia and New Zealand are only shown partially; the erroneous 'Mer de L'Ouest' appears in northwest America, with a large 'I. Nouvelle' just south of the Bering Straits; and Jesso is part of mainland Asia.
