Schematic drawing of the western hemisphere of Behaim

Schematic drawing of the western hemisphere of Behaim's globe made in Nuremberg in 1492. Because the globe was made before Columbus sailed there is nothing about the New World. The schematic was drawn by Friedrich Wilhlem Ghillany, and published in Geschichte des Seefahrers Ritter Martin Behaim, Nürnberg: Bauer und Raspe, J. Merz, 1853.
