This map presents the Earth in a striking new way, in the form of two Hemispheres. The plane that crosses it perpendicular to its axis follows the line of the Equator. The two Poles appear at the centers: the North Pole shows the belt of land that radiates around it, and gives free rein to the imagination as to the true make-up of these vast, unexplored regions. The South Pole would seem to offer nothing but an immense expanse of water, were it not for the fact that the sparse land surrounding it indicates, on the contrary, the existence of a new Continent covered in ice, and whose details geography will perhaps one day have to record in its annals...
New geography produced by cartographer L.A Garnier in 1860, a member of the Société de Géographie since 1850.
The perfect sharpness of the colors, the choice of paper and the typographic execution were unanimously praised by the scientific community of the time. Uncommon.
