So the translation goes: World Map by Frederick De Wit (1670 circa) This large map is the work of a 17th century famous editor of atlases, Frederik De Wit who reached the peak of his career with the production of large mural maps amongst which this “Nova Totius Terrarium Orbis Tabula”, which dates back to 1670 and is one of the most significant examples. Originally realized with copper- engraving it is made with a number of sheets which are mounted onto a removable cloth to make transport easier. On the four corners there are illustrations of various far away peoples , animals and plants. Between New Zealand and the Strait of Magellan there is a chart with distances. There is also a sphere representing the movement of the planets according to the Ptolemaic hypothesis. An original of this map is included in the collection of maps at the Istituto Geografico Militare di Frenze.

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.
