Framed "Carte Des Nouvelles Decouvertes, Extrait d'une Carte Japonoise de l'Univers" |
| Description |
This beautifully framed map was made by Robert de Vaugondy for an ENCYCLOPEDIE by Denis Diderot. This map has exceptionally wide margins, and bright hand coloring. Diderot's maps were intended to further an understanding of the Western Coast of America, and NE Asia, during a time period immediately prior to Cook's first voyage where numerous theories abounded on these regions, especially the NW Coast of America. This original copper plate engraving is in excellent condition. The map shows the northern part of Siberia and the coast of Asia and appears to be a companion of maps #1. Other details include "The Sea of the West" explorer routes, and descriptive text. Framed with a unique wooden moulding, triple matting which bring out the colors of the map, and a fillet. Fantastic gift for and history buff! All Art Source framing use archival materials including acid-free mat board and UVA protective glass. |
