Based on Frederick de Wit’s renowned 1668 map Orbis Maritimus, this print showcases the intricate details and artistic flair that were characteristic of maps from this era. The mythological vignettes adorning the borders are the work of Romeyn de Hooghe, adding a touch of enchantment to an already captivating piece. Each stroke of colour brings life to the various countries and continents depicted, making it not only a valuable historical document but also a visually striking work of art.

Whether displayed as wall art or used for decorative purposes, this illustration captures both the curiosity and beauty inherent in early cartography. Its archival nature ensures its longevity as an heirloom piece that will continue to inspire awe for generations to come. So, immerse yourself in history with this exquisite hand-coloured world map – a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression.”
