Additional Information
Published in 1794, this commanding double-hemisphere wall map by Samuel Dunn presents the entire world alongside a panoramic survey of the heavens. Twin globes sit at the center, framed by star charts, a map of the Moon, the solar system, and astronomical diagrams that fill every margin.
Dunn was a London teacher of mathematics, navigation, and astronomy, and his design reflects that learning. Conceived as an instructive wall map, it married geography with the science of the cosmos, intended to teach the principles of both disciplines to students and curious minds of the Enlightenment age.
Revised to incorporate the latest discoveries of Captain Cook, the map charts the tracks of his three voyages across the Pacific. Routes of other explorers wind through the oceans, while regions like the northwest of North America remained only partly known, their coastlines fading into open speculation.
This impressive map stands as a testament to an age when geography and astronomy advanced hand in hand, offering a window into how the late eighteenth century understood both Earth and sky. A superb addition to any collection, it preserves a learned masterwork of Georgian science.
