Antique World Maps

The great Dutch and Flemish world maps of the 16th and 17th centuries — Blaeu's double hemispheres, Ortelius' Typus Orbis Terrarum, the Hondius plate, Cellarius' celestial charts and Lafreri's sea-monster Carta Marina — restored from the archives' own scans and printed at sizes that show the cartouches and the allegorical borders properly. A framed antique world map is the one print that suits a study, an office wall or a hallway equally well, and the one most people ask about. Every map here comes as a framed vintage print in a black, oak or white wood frame, ready to hang, or unframed on archival matte paper. An old world map of the world is the print people buy first: framed world map artwork for a study, or a large world map on canvas over a sofa.
