I purchased this map a few years ago and have been fascinated with it ever
since I saw it.
I could only find very little information on the maker and the map, nothing
about the one I specifically own.
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this or could give me
more information.
The title is: "Orbis Terrarum Descriptio Duobis Planis Hemisphaeriis Comprehesa"
I am pretty sure it is not original, but the artwork and the way the light
reflects off has me curious to learn more about it.
a 50kb upload limit doesn't allow me to attach pictures, but you can see them

If you can give me more information, I would be grateful.
Thank you
