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
Description:
A gore is a roughly triangular or wedge-shaped segment of an object, as found in domes and globes, where a sector of a curved surface, or a curved surface that lies between two close lines of longitude on a globe, and flattened to a plane surface with little distortion., Martin Waldseemüller (1470-1519) was a German cartographer. His wall map Universalis Cosmographia (1507) and printed globes contemporarily derived from it were the first published globular maps of the Western Hemisphere and the first maps on which the name America appears in honor of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512)., In Latin., Title devised by cataloger., and Publication place and date of creation supplied by the cataloger.
