-
- A double hemispherical map of the world by Nicolaes van Geelkercken and Jan Jansson, originally printed in Amsterdam in 1615, and reprinted anonymously, presumably in the early 1800s, within a frame of the signs of the zodiac. Inserted between Taurus and Orion is "Petit telescope de Herschel", and next to Gemini is "Gr.d telescope de Herschel", the small and large telescopes of Sir William Herschel (1738-1822). The latter is presumably Herschel's 40-foot telescope, the largest in the world at the time, built 1785-1789 and last used in 1815.
- Original publication data on eastern hemisphere: "Amstelodami. Excudebat Joannes Janssonius, 1615"
