So the translation goes: The English cartographer G. Humble is certainly one of the most significant cartographers of the XVII century. This “New and Accurate Map of the world” is a good example to clearly understand the value of his work. This map of the world, which was realized at the beginning of the century and first published in 1626, is particularly outstanding for its allegorical representations. Water, fire, earth and air are represented by figures which give a pleasant impression to the map as does the representation of the solar and lunar eclipses and the armillary sphere.

All maps are Made in Italy, outlined using a hand tooled copper press, painted by hand using water color, mounted on an antiquated, linen and cotton canvas in sections which fold easily and are encased in a soft bag, inside of a luxurious burgundy gift box with the map’s title written across the corner cover.

Maps may be hung using any method of your choice including professional framing (available upon request) or be displayed atop tables or other flat surfaces.
