A rare miniature map of the southern hemisphere featuring a large land mass at the pole. It extends northwards to the equator and includes New Holland (Australia), South Africa, and much of South America. It appeared in a miniature atlas by Johann Ulrich Müller (1633-1715) published in 1692 in both Latin and German editions. “To illustrate both works Müller provided a new series of 103 maps. Mostly unsigned, it would seem that the engraver was one of the Bodenehr family. G. C. Bodenehr signs the engraved frontispiece. Tooley’s Dictionary of Mapmakers declares the relationships between the various Bodenehrs of the period have not been determined and identifies three G. Bodenehrs. Gabriel, elder and younger, and Georg Conrad (1663-1710), who may well be our engraver. Other authorities assign them to one of the Gabriels.” (Burden).
