Pair of Prints Depicting Antique World Maps Framed in Burl Wood

About the Item

A pair of prints depicting antique world maps framed in burl wood. One picture contains a depiction of Africa, Europe, and Oceania. The other picture is of North and South America. Touches of paint have been used to add some interest and artistic flare. Colorful floral flourishes have been printed on the outer sections to frame the globe. The outer matte is in a navy blue with a crackle effect. The outer frame is burl wood with a light reddish-brown stain. Some hints of golden yellow and light yellow ocre sit inner mat and the trim of the outer frame. This was based on the second edition of Hondius' world map, which was initially released in 1630 as part of the revisions made to the Mercator-Hondius Atlas It was developed in response to the rivalry with Blaeu. The fundamental cartographic design of this map was made with John Speed's world map in mind. Below the frame a phrase is included that reads: “Nova totivis terrarvm orbis geographica ac hy” The phrase is cut off at hy. This phrase roughly translates to The new geographical terrarvm of the world. The second image has the phrase “Geographica hydrographica Tabvla” (translates to Geographical hydrographic Tabla” with a smaller phrase “Auct Henr Hondio.” These phrases come from the originally sourced maps. In good condition. Gentle wear consistent with age and use. These fascinating pieces would make a great conversation starter in any office space or home study.
