Cartobibliographic notes:
This is the left half of Edward Wright's (1588?-1615) map of the world. Even though Wright's name does not appear on the map, his name has been long associated with it. In 1569 Gerhard Mercator developed the projection scheme which bears his name, but he left no explanation of the process by which his projections were constructed. Wright is credited with reconstructing the mathematical formulas which Mercator used and published an explanation of it in 1599.
