Old World Map

Well known and highly regarded Dutch cartographer Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) is believed to have designed this “Old World Map”. Given the time and lack of modern navigation and survey tools to aid in his effort, his map is not only artful, but also quite accurate for the time. Of course, the fact that Hondius came from a family of some of the most acclaimed cartographers in history – including his father and brother – didn’t hurt either. “Old World Map” is filled with visually resplendent details and its use of color and artistry will make it a valuable addition to you home. It will look great in a den, home office, study or bedroom. The back is lined and the tapestry includes a tunnel for easy hanging.
