  5. Title: Nouvelle Mappe Monde dediee au progres de nos connoissances; Francois Santini.

    Contributors:

    Summary: A Venise Chez Francois Santini, rue Ste. Justine pres la dite Eglise. A 'view from space' of the earth's hemispheres; the hemispheres selected are the maritime and terrestrial hemispheres, or 'water' and 'land' hemispheres. This map is quite rare in having the land and water hemispheres as the main subject; these are usually supplementing polar or equatorial views of the world. Probably from Paolo Santini's Atlas Universel, between 1776 and 1781. Includes 350-word commentary on why the oblique south polar and north polar views were chosen. The terrestrial hemisphere, we are told, is not centred on Paris and the Paris meridian purely for patriotic reasons, but according to scientific principles. 1 map: col.; 2 hemispheres each 31,2 cm. in diam., on sheet 53 x 72 cm.

  13. Title: Plano de la Ciudad de Lima, Capital de la Republica. Levantado en 1859 por el ingeniero y arquitecto del Estado Antonio Maria Dupard. Paz Soldan. Geografia del Peru Grabado por Delamare, Calle St. Andre des Arts, 45, Paris. Paris. Impr. Janson, calle Ant: Dubois, 6. (Paris, Libreria de Augusto Durand, 1865) (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of Lima originally published in 1865. The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools.
