Copper engraving, 49.5 x 59 cms, original hand-colour, centrefold split closed, toning at centrefold, blank verso. Homann’s map of Europe has been altered to show the path of the eclipse of the sun of May 12 1706, which was visible as a total or partial eclispse across much of Europe. A banner has been added at the top of the map containing explanatory information, including a list of towns where the eclipse was total and where it was partial. The shaded area across Europe shows the centre of the path of the eclipse.
