Two hemispheres on aged parchment, ringed in red and green, with Latin place names in copperplate and small galleons dotted through the oceans. Henricus Hondius engraved it in 1630 as the frontispiece to his atlas and hung the corners with allegories of earth, air, fire and water, plus oval portraits of Ptolemy, Mercator, Julius Caesar and his own father.
The oceans are the problem — wide cream expanses broken only by faint hatching and lettering. Finished size 73.6 x 50.8cm.
Intricate cartographic details, ornate borders, and muted colour palette with fine text make piece differentiation challenging.
