1684 Mallet Map of Amazon River & Kingdom of Amazons – Hand Colored, Miniature
About the Item
This map, titled 'Royaume des Amazones', was created by Alain Manesson Mallet and published in 1684 in a German edition of *Beschreibung des Gantzen Welt-Kreisses*, a renowned work derived from his famous 'Description de l'Univers.
This beautifully hand-colored miniature map depicts northern South America, with a special focus on the Amazon River and the legendary Kingdom of the Amazons.
Key Features:
- Depiction of the Amazon River: The map shows the northern portion of South America, with the Amazon River prominently displayed along with its surrounding regions.
- Decorative elements: The map is held up by two allegorical figures of native Amazonians, one holding a bow and the other a spear. These figures personify the myth of the Amazons, a race of warrior women believed to inhabit the region.
- The map includes several historical and mythical locations, such as Castille d'Or, Pays des Tapouyes, Guiana, Caribana, and the Royaume des Amalone, the "Kingdom of the Amazons."
- Hand coloring enhances the decorative and geographical features of the map, making it not only informative but also visually striking.
Size: This is a miniature map, typical of Mallet’s publications, though the exact dimensions would need to be confirmed.
This map is a valuable piece for collectors of mythical maps, South American cartography, or 17th-century miniatures. It’s a perfect example of the fascination with both the geographic and legendary aspects of the Amazon during the era of exploration.
