Twee aanzichten van de aardbol zonder water 1690

This anonymous 1690 print from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Twee aanzichten van de aardbol zonder water", depicts two views of the Earth without water. This unique perspective allows the viewer to see the continents' topography and landforms in detail, as if they were floating in space. The artist uses hatching and shading techniques to represent the varying elevations of the land, creating a three-dimensional effect. The print serves as a visual representation of the Earth's geography and challenges the viewer to consider the world from a new perspective.
