About the Item

Beautiful reproduction of an antique map showing th Planisfere, with continets, lands and their populations. We can see with what mastery of joints and vivid colours the author depicts lands, , maps and different populations. The planisfers are framed by a beautiful gold-leaf frame. Internal measure : 92 x 70 cm The technique of applying the print on a cotton canvas dates back to the eighteenth century. The background, in hand-aged Ghinea cotton, acts as a backdrop for the hand-colored geography paper sectioned into various squares to form an unusual composition. The geographic maps are copies of originals dated around the seventeenth century.The technique of applying the print on a cotton canvas dates back to the eighteenth century. Hubert Jaillot, one of the most important French cartographers of the 17th century, was born 1632. He had a partnership with Nicolas Sanson's son and re-published and re-engraved many Sanson maps. The Atlases and map mainly have been printed by Pierre Mortier in Amsterdam but also in Paris. He died 1712 in Paris. With an experience of over 40 years, Artecornici design create high quality handmade frames using precious woods and working various types of high quality finishes, lacquers and aging, offering a vast choice of models. Each print is an artisanal Florentine product, reproducing images of the European eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with the same printing techniques (engraving with a star press), the golden age of prints, which are then finished and watercolored exclusively by hand .The richness of our work lies in the ability to make our customers' requests our own, creating products with personalized, unique and precious creations, renewing our collections year after year.
