Vintage reproduction Map AFTER Adam Freidrich Zurner, who produced relatively few maps, but this tour-de-force incorporates interesting cartography - California as an island, Australia appearing almost as a rectangle and Japan sprouting a bulging Terra Iedso. There are detailed texts, projections of the planets and a number celestial diagrams. Vignettes below the map record numerous natural phenomena.
