Johann Baptist Homann (1664–1724) – "Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti Generalis Exhibitio" – Hand-Colored Copper Engraving World Map (1707)
The map features two prominent hemispheres depicting the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, adorned with intricate illustrations of celestial hemispheres above each terrestrial counterpart. Notably, it presents California as an island—a common cartographic misconception of that era. The surrounding areas are enriched with allegorical figures, elaborate cartouches, and detailed representations of the known world, reflecting the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the time.
