I just encountered R A Proctor's "A Students Atlas" (1889) ... which prefigured 20c work by Cahill and Fuller by mapping the earth as a dodecahedron, each facet separately projected as a circle, with blisters or boils for some places ... and each circle is done on azimuthal equidistant, prefiguring Richard Edes Harrison! Need to learn more!!
Fortunately internet archive has a scanned file from UWisc at https://archive.org/details/studentsatlasin00procgoog/mode/2up

Are you able to reach IA? It seems to be down again for me...
