Theses gores are something of a curiosity as the cartographic detail was quite out of date even when the globe gores were first engraved. The information is largely based on cartographic knowledge from the 1550s incluing Portuguese findings, while Oterschaden engraced the gores in the early 1600s. Because of this much of the Southern Hemisphere is unknown with imaginary land borders and the label "Terra Incognita"
