Physical Description: Composite atlas featuring maps by Johann Baptist Homann, Gerard and Leonard Valck, Matthaeus Seutter, Joan Blaeu, Nicholas Sanson, Jan Jansson and others. Also included is Athanasius Kircher's map Tabula geographico-hydrographica, the first to show the ocean currents. Most of the maps are highly decorative including Seutter's map showing Spain's conquest of Sardinia and Sicily in a battle dated October 24, 1718, a continuation of the War of the Spanish Succession. Includes a copper engraving of the construction of a ship and another section illustrating flags of the provinces of the Netherlands. The date 1718 is from the Seutter map depicting a battle fought by the Spaniards to regain Sardinia and Sicily.
