Lot 286
[MAP - POLAR] SCHERER, HEINRICH. Regionum Circum Polarium Lapponiae Islandiae et Groenlandiae Novae et Veteris Nova Descriptio Geographia.
[Munich:] 1701. Engraved map, hand colored, framed. Sheet measures 10 5/8 x 14 5/8 inches (27.5 x 37.25 cm). Very faint spot, almost only visible from the verso, old vertical fold.

An attractive example of this very decorative map, heavily peopled with boats, hunters and animals. The geography, centered on the North Pole, is typical of the period. It presents the possibility of both a Northeast and a Northwest passage, and includes Greenland, Iceland, England, Scandinavia, and parts of Asia, Europe and North America.
