Eastern Roman World Map, Black Sea & Levant, Antique Engraving c.1818 Antique engraved map of the eastern part of the Roman World, depicting the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire from Greece and the Balkans through Asia Minor, the Levant, and Egypt. The map encompasses the entire Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) and the eastern Mediterranean (Mare Internum), and is distinguished by its dense topographical detail and extensive use of classical place names. The map is based on the authoritative work of Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville, one of the most influential historical geographers of the Enlightenment. D’Anville revolutionized ancient cartography by rejecting speculative geography in favor of rigorous analysis of classical sources, inscriptions, itineraries, and archaeological evidence. His reconstructions of the Roman world became the scholarly standard well into the 19th century. This example is the English edition published in London by Laurie & Whittle, issued circa 1818, and bound in the atlas A Complete Body of Ancient Geography. The atlas represents an expanded English adaptation of d’Anville’s research, produced for academic and educational audiences during the height of classical historical studies in Britain. The engraving is clear and finely executed, with original outline color used to distinguish Roman provinces and regions. The restrained, analytical style reflects d’Anville’s emphasis on accuracy over ornament, making this map a cornerstone reference for collectors of classical geography, Roman history, and Enlightenment-era cartography. A highly desirable example of early 19th-century historical mapmaking, combining scholarly authority with elegant presentation. Condition: Attractive antique condition with light overall toning and age-appropriate wear. Original outline coloring remains fresh. Central fold as issued. Tight margins, but no major losses or repairs observed. Framing tips: Pairs well with a medium walnut or dark-stained frame and a wide ivory or soft parchment-colored mat. Museum glass recommended to preserve the delicate engraving and original color. Technique: Engraving with original outline color Maker: Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville (after), London issue by Laurie & Whittle, circa 1818 Short Scholarly Footnote: Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville is regarded as the founder of modern historical cartography. By systematically comparing ancient texts with physical geography, he eliminated centuries of cartographic speculation and established a new scholarly standard that shaped classical geography well into the modern era. keywords: antique map, roman empire map...

Antique Ancient World Map – Orbis Veteribus Notus, Engraving c.1818 Striking antique map depicting the world as known to the ancient classical civilizations, extending from Western Europe and Africa through the Middle East, India, and East Asia. The composition presents a sweeping, curved projection that gives the sheet strong visual movement and a distinctly architectural presence on the wall. This large map is offered unframed, enabling custom framing to personal or interior preferences. The map illustrates the geographic understanding of the ancient world based on classical Greek and Roman sources, with continents, regions, rivers, and cities labeled using archaic Latin place names. Africa, Europe, and Asia dominate the composition, while India and the Far East stretch elegantly toward the right margin, creating a dynamic horizontal balance well suited to modern interiors. The map is based on the work of Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville (1697–1782), whose historical reconstructions reshaped Enlightenment cartography. Rather than speculative geography, d’Anville relied on critical analysis of ancient texts, itineraries, and comparative sources, producing maps valued for clarity, proportion, and intellectual rigor. This example is the English edition published in London by Laurie & Whittle circa 1818, issued as part of the atlas A Complete Body of Ancient Geography. Produced during the neoclassical period, the restrained engraving and subtle original outline color align naturally with contemporary interior design, offering historical depth without visual excess. The neutral parchment tone, fine engraved detail, and wide format make this map particularly effective as statement wall art in libraries, studies, hallways, and hospitality spaces. It also works exceptionally well as part of a trio when displayed alongside the Eastern and Western Roman Empire maps. A timeless and highly decorative representation of the ancient world, combining scholarly authority with strong aesthetic impact. Condition report: Good antique condition with light, even toning and gentle age-related wear consistent with age. Original outline color remains visible and balanced. Central fold as issued. No major tears, losses, or repairs observed. Framing tips: Best presented in a wide dark walnut, blackened oak, or ebonized frame with a generous ivory or parchment-toned mat. Museum or UV glass recommended. Particularly effective when framed horizontally or displayed as part of a coordinated classical map set. We sell the map unframed. Technique: Engraving with original outline color Maker: Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville (after), published by Laurie & Whittle, London, circa 1818 Keywords: antique world map, ancient world map, orbis veteribus notus, classical world map, antique engraved map, d’anville map, laurie and whittle, 19th century map, ancient geography map, roman world map, greek world map, classical antiquity map, europe africa asia map, neoclassical wall art, antique map wall decor, interior designer wall art, library wall decor, study wall art, museum style decor, parchment toned art, neutral wall art, scholarly antique map, collectible antique map, framed antique map, historical wall art, enlightenment cartography, british atlas map, elegant antique print, large horizontal wall art...
