This is a digitally remastered World Map Conjuring up the golden age of exploration, from an original 1642 double hemisphere map of the world. It includes pictorial relief illustrations and detailed notations from Marco Polo, most notably the place name ‘Terra Australis Incognita’.
Originally hand-coloured to define the continents, it’s embellished with allegorical spandrel vignettes representing celestial hemispheres, North and South Poles, sailing ships and sea monsters. Full of fascinating detail, it shows the world as it was understood in the 17th century, complete with inaccuracies such as North America extending to an oddly shaped Japan.
The print is made using archival methods for the highest quality and durability and framed with sustainable wood. All elements are hand cut, printed and assembled in Britain to create a picture of distinction with minimal carbon footprint.
Framed ready to hang.
