- Abstract:
- A photomechanical print probably created during the early twentieth century as a forgery that reproduces twelve gores for a globe published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller based on his wall map, Universalis Cosmographia (1507). and Evidence of the forgery includes the superimposition of the gores over glue already on the paper surface, which suggests use of a sheet removed from a period volume, as well as details that replicate gores from an authentic woodcut print formerly owned by Austrian cartographer Franz Hauslab and acquired by the James Ford Bell Library at the University of Minnesota in 1954
