About the Item
Title: Double Hemisphere World Map from the Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, Leiden 1876
Description:
This 19th-century double-hemisphere world map, titled “Wereldkaart volgens gewone projectie van Flamsteed,” was published in 1876 in the *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand* by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden. The map presents the world in elegant twin hemispheres, with fine hand-coloring and precise Dutch engraving characteristic of the late 19th century.
The left hemisphere shows the Americas, while the right illustrates Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Each region is outlined in soft pastel hues to mark national borders and colonial possessions. Clear annotations indicate ocean currents, trade winds, and lines of latitude and longitude, while delicate hachuring defines mountains and continental forms. Smaller inset maps appear around the edges, showing alternative projections, polar regions, and a comparative profile of world elevations and sea depths.
This map was designed as an educational tool in Frijlink’s atlas, which became a widely used reference for schools and institutions throughout the Netherlands. Its accuracy and aesthetic balance reflect the precision of Dutch cartography in the late 19th century, bridging classical and scientific approaches to mapmaking. The combination of beauty and clarity makes it both a decorative and historical object of interest.
