Note:
This is an anonymous Portuguese chart of the terrestrial globe in 24 gores that by comparison it is most probably a work by Portuguese cosmographer and cartographer Bartolomeu Velho. The globe reveals various ideas expressed by Velho and the system of projection, so unusual in Portuguese charts, is in his style. Another fact is the presentation of the zodiac, which was a favorite of his, and the graduated meridian is similar to other charts by him. One of the most important characteristics however is the "vertical" shape of Japan only known in his charts.
