This world map and his author, A. Duplessy, are not recorded in any bibliography
or any library.
As indicated in the title, the author has used a new projection
depicting a flat world in one hemisphere. The latter is encircled with a time
clock. Dedicated to the prince of Conti, it is decorated with an elegant cartouche
with flowers and astronomical objects, and two armillary spheres. A nice copy in original color. Of the utmost rarity.
