The Eastern Hemisphere with the zones of habitation as they were understood by the ancient philosophers. The areas shaded green are the 'Temperate Regions', the central band of yellow is the 'Torrid Region', and the unshaded areas in the north and south are the 'Frigid Regions'. Only the temperate regions were considered hospitable to civilized life by the Classical philosophers.
Cellarius's maps are some of the most decorative ever produced during the Dutch Golden Age and are lauded for their rich, Rococo decoration. This map is no exception. The margins are filled with splendid scrollwork, along with an illustration of an armillary sphere and numerous putti explaining astronomical concepts. While the map's geography is generally accurate, its depiction of Australia (marked on the map as 'Nova Hollandia') is still markedly wrong. This follows the best knowledge available to the cartographers of this era and is based on the exploratory voyages of Dutch sailors.
Sumptuous original hand-colour.
