Fig. 11. Charles Price and George Willdey, A New and Correct Map of the World (1714). In close relation with all the scientific artifacts, the map copies Kircher’s map of the sun and Cassini’s of the moon that had previously appeared in Moll’s A New and Correct Map of the World (1707; plate 29). The allegorical depictions of the four continents above were designed and engraved by H. Terrason, perhaps to expand the map’s market by making it serve as a decorative wall map as well as a scientific resource.
