Europe and North Africa - c. 1705
Note: To view available close-ups, click on the area you wish to see. Wonderful large 17th-century folio sheet copper engraved map. Original outline hand color. In VG+ to near fine clean condition, overall a very pleasing visual example. With the very unusual feature of having historical descriptive text sheets attached seemingly as issued on either side of the map. The dealer we bought this map from was breaking the atlas, and this map as well as several others had this unusual feature. Thus, we believe it was issued this way in the atlas. A very uncommon map finely engraved and a profusion of detail. To the left of the decorative title cartouche is a Hemisphere map showing the Western Hemisphere, including an undefined Western coast in North America. Sheet measures 40" x 22." Image area measures 26" x 19." Ordering: Please use the Buy Me button below, or phone the shop to order this map.
