Document source description
Regions and Seasons: The winds remained on maps into the 17th century, as illustrated on this 1607 horological diagram, which was used for measuring time. Produced by German mathematician Franz Ritter, this unique example contains one central world map surrounded by ten diagrams illustrating different ways of recording or measuring time. Ritter's wind diagram appears in the top center margin here. The four principal winds are represented encircling a compass, with north at the south. "Destructive" winds in the south are illustrated here as skulls, indicating the negative effects they were believed to have on humankind.
